Overview & Features
Paeonia suffruticosa, commonly known as Tree Peony, is a deciduous woody shrub prized for its exceptionally large, luxurious blooms.
Produces spectacular flowers in shades of white, pink, red, purple, or yellow depending on the variety.
Blooms appear in mid to late spring and can measure 15–25 cm across.
Lightly to richly fragrant flowers with delicate, tissue-like petals.
Forms a woody framework rather than dying back to ground level each year.
Typically grows to 120–150 cm in height and spread over time.
Attractive, divided foliage provides texture through the growing season.
Ideal as a specimen plant in borders or sheltered garden settings.
Tree peonies are valued for their dramatic blooms and long-lived garden presence.
Planting & Positioning
Plant in full sun or light partial shade.
Prefers a sheltered position protected from strong winds.
Thrives in fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter.
Avoid heavy, waterlogged soils, especially in winter.
Improve soil with compost or well-rotted manure before planting.
Plant grafted specimens deeply enough so the graft union sits 10–15 cm below soil level.
Space plants 100–150 cm apart to allow for mature growth.
Avoid planting in exposed frost pockets.
Tree peonies dislike disturbance and should be positioned carefully from the start.
Watering, Feeding & Flowering
Water regularly during the first growing season to establish strong roots.
Keep soil evenly moist during active growth and flowering.
Avoid overwatering or winter waterlogging.
Feed in early spring with a balanced fertiliser to promote strong growth and blooms.
Apply a mulch of compost in spring, keeping it away from the base of stems.
Flowering typically occurs in mid to late spring.
Remove spent blooms to maintain a tidy appearance and conserve plant energy.
Consistent moisture in spring supports larger, healthier flowers.
