It did manage to bring forth one majestic, perfect bloom that year - I was thrilled! It was only later that I realized that where I had put it would cause it harm due to moisture content of the area. The following early spring the tree peony was moved but didn't survive - they are known to resent being moved. Make sure to take your time deciding on just the right spot before you plant it!
I recently purchased another tree peony (this cultivar was not available) and decided to try again. This time I seriously thought out where I wanted to plant it and considered all the options before proceeding.
Tree peonies are generally hardy in zones 4-8. Grow in deep, fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Plant the graft union of tree peonies 5-6" (13-15cm) below the soil surface. Provide shelter from strong winds.
This plant has produced viable seed for me. This seed was sown outside in pots in autumn and has now sprouted at the end of March.
