Description
Paeonia suffruticosa White is a shrubby peony with solitary, semi-double, open cup-shaped flowers in pearly-white with pale pink, adorned with pale yellow stamens. These large cup-shaped flowers measure 18 to 25 cm (7 to 10 in) in diameter and bloom from mid-May to mid-June, perched on upright stems. Some consider shrubby peonies to be the epitome of refinement.
Growing fairly slowly, this very hardy shrub grows up to 1.5-2 m (5-7 ft) tall. The deciduous leaves are composed of nine lanceolate leaflets, which are very smooth and brownish-green when they bud and then tender green with a bluish reverse afterwards.
Originally from eastern Asia, Paeonia suffruticosa is more delicate than herbaceous varieties: it prefers sheltered situations, especially from cold winds. It grows in partial shade but tolerates non-burning sunlight and thrives in rich, deep, humus-bearing, moist, acidic, and light soil. It does not tolerate limestone and struggles to grow in very heavy soils.
In the garden, Paeonia suffruticosa White can be used as a standalone against a wall, a hedge or in a mass planting, under tall trees, but always sheltered from the wind and in well-aerated and bright locations. Peonies can be combined with other perennials that bloom before or after them, such as grasses, roses, irises, or bellflowers.

Planting and care
Place Paeonia suffruticosa White preferably in partial shade. From September to May, except during freezing periods, plant it in a fertile and deep, humus-bearing, moist but well-drained soil to prevent the roots from rotting. Easy to grow, peonies require little maintenance. When planting, dig a large hole measuring 40 to 50 cm (16 to 20 in) on each side and add compost, river sand, and peat moss. Do not plant the plants too close together to allow for good air circulation. Place the collar at ground level. Keep the soil moist throughout the growing season with regular watering. Peonies are known to be homebodies, so they should not be moved after planting. Avoid pruning unless the plant becomes bare. If that happens, cut back to the base shoots. Provide support for the floral 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).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
