Tree Peony 'Pink'

Tree Peony 'Pink' is offered as a large, double-flowered tree peony with sugar-pink petals, gold stamens and a light perfume. The [Thompson & Morgan plant profile](https://www.thompson-morgan.com/p/tree-peony-pink/WKF8798TM) describes an upright, woody shrub that flowers in late spring and early summer. ## Garden use Give this showy shrub room in a sunny or lightly shaded border, where the blooms can be seen above its divided leaves. It can also be grown in a large container, provided the root zone has enough depth and drainage. ## Growing conditions Plant in a sheltered site with fertile, humus-rich, free-draining soil. Water regularly during the first growing season; established tree peonies tolerate dry periods, though a long drought may affect the following season's flowering. A light annual mulch helps conserve moisture without covering the crown. All parts are harmful if eaten, so take care around pets and children likely to ingest plant material. ## Maintenance Remove faded flowers after blooming and prune only lightly. Cut spent shoots back just above new growth after flowering, then remove dead stems to a healthy bud in late winter. Tree peonies keep woody stems through winter rather than being cut down to the ground.
