Tree Peony - Houki
The Tree Peony Houki, 'Tree Peony' produces dark red flowers on woody stems. Paeonia suffruticosa, or Tree Peonies, are loved by everyone who has ever seen them in bloom. A deciduous shrub, not a tree, the Tree Peony has woody stems. A mature shrub produces dozens of huge, long-lasting, silken blooms which delight the eye. Tree Peonies prefer evenly moist, well-drained soil with a pH close to neutral. If your soil is extremely acid, add some lime when planting. Remove deadwood after the plants leaf out in spring and remove spent flowers. Tree Peonies usually take 2 - 3 years to become established and bloom heavily.
