Yae-Zukura Tree Peony

Paeonia suffruticosa, ‘Yae-Zakura’ is covered in double soft pink flowers up to 9” across. This cultivar can eventually reach 7’ x 7’ in size but is slow to establish. Young plants should be planted 4” – 6” deeper than they were previously grown – one of the few times planting ‘deep’ is recommended. The extra depth provides the woody part of the peony to produce its own roots. Propagators bud/graft tree peony buds onto the root systems of herbaceous peonies to increase the speed of propagation. Full sun and a rich soil that never dries out are keys to success.
