Paeonia suffruticosa is a perennial and deciduous shrub. Slow growth to an eventual 3'-5' tall, with handsome divided leaves and very large single to double flowers in early spring. Takes several years to reveal their true potential, but the results are spectacular.

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
