Growing & Maintenance Tips for Paeonia suffruticosa 'Kao'

Tree peonies have a woody stem and the branches do not die back to the ground in the winter. Do not prune except to remove spent flowers. Plant in full sun or partial shade in a well-drained, evenly moist soil. They can be drought tolerant, once established.
