Paeonia suffruticosa 'Luo Yang Hong', nicknamed the "Red of Luoyang", is a variety of Chinese tree peony that blooms early in the spring. It is characterised by a stout habit, dense foliage, and large pompom flowers in a beautiful shade of red that leans towards pink, close to magenta. Although dense, the upright flowers do reveal their golden stamens late on. The very hardy bush is easy to grow in any good garden soil. It will live for many years without requiring much care, after careful planting. An old tree peony plant needs no description, it is simply admired, either as a specimen or as the focal point of a shrub border.
The 'Luoyang Hong' tree peony is a Chinese hybrid. It is a beautiful descendant of Paeonia suffruticosa, native to central China. This extraordinary species, cultivated for about 1500 years in China and two centuries in Europe, has given rise to numerous cultivars with single or double flowers, in all colours except true blue. The wild form, truly enigmatic, has never been formally identified. In contrast to herbaceous peonies, Paeonia suffruticosa develops woody stems, one or more small trunks, and sparsely branched knotty branches that persist throughout the year, like those of shrubs. Its foliage is deciduous, emerging in spring and falling in autumn, sometimes taking on beautiful hues late in the season, depending on the variety. All these plants from the Far East are very hardy. They belong to the Ranunculaceae family.
"Luo Yang Hong" forms a semi-erect bush with dense foliage, reaching 1.30 m (4ft), or even 1.50 m (5ft) in all directions under good growing conditions. The short, upright branches bear leaves divided into lanceolate leaflets, rather short, dense, smooth, strongly veined, bronze-coloured when they emerge, quickly becoming light green. Each leaf is carried on a bronze petiole. The flowering of this variety occurs over a period of 3 weeks in April, at the beginning of the tree peony season. A 3-year-old plant will produce a single flower in the first year, but 50 after 20 years of cultivation. It starts with very large solitary buds, green and round, appearing at the end of winter at the tips of new shoots, and resistant to late frosts. They open into nearly double corollas, upright or held horizontally, measuring 16cm (6in) in diameter. They are composed of multiple petals arranged in a regular manner. The flower's centre is occupied by golden yellow stamens, more visible towards the end of flowering.
The tree peony is not a plant for impatient gardeners. It takes its time, but years of patience are rewarded with the fabulous spectacle created by this opulent shrub covered in huge flowers in spring. In the garden, the 'Luoyang Hong' tree peony will be sumptuous as a specimen against a wall, in the foreground of a hedge, or in a border under tall trees, but always sheltered from winds and in a bright, airy location. Its magnificent flowers will be enhanced by those of other peonies in white, dark pink, purple, or mauve, clusters of lilacs in mauve, purple, or white, or early-flowering China roses (Old Blush). This plant also pairs well with other perennials that bloom before or after it, such as bearded irises or bellflowers.

Botanical data
Preferably site the Luo Yang Hong tree peony in partial shade in hotter regions, or in full sun in more northerly areas; 6 hours of sun per day are necessary for beautiful flowering. Morning sun is appreciated, while scorching situations should be avoided. Plant from September to May, except during freezing periods, in deep and fertile soil that is slightly acidic, neutral or even slightly alkaline, moist, but well-drained to prevent the roots from rotting. Once well established in deep soil, the tree peony does not require watering in summer, especially early spring flowering varieties. Its hardiness is excellent, but the flower buds can be damaged by strong or dry and cold winds.
Easy to grow, tree peonies require little maintenance but deserve careful installation. During planting, dig a large hole 40 to 50 cm (16 to 20in) deep and at least as wide. Fill it with a mixture of garden soil, leaf compost, and river sand or gravel if your soil is very heavy and compact. Add crushed horn, bone meal, and dried blood at the bottom of the planting hole. Do not plant too tightly for good ventilation. The tree peony dislikes competition from the roots of other plants, so allow a spacing of 1 m (3ft) from its neighbours. The graft should be buried about twenty centimetres deep so that the plant gradually becomes independent from its rhizome. Watering should be abundant, but spaced out every 8 to 15 days during the first two years, from March to September. Peonies are known to be homebodies and should not be moved after planting. Avoid pruning unless the base of the plant becomes bare. If that happens, prune at the level of the shoots at the base. Provide a stake to support the flower stems, and remove faded flowers during the season.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
