Paeonia

Hi all,

Can anyone suggest some specific tree peony varieties for my area --
central Indiana. I want the traits:

1) Do well in medium shade -- I want to put it under a walnut tree with
some other shade-loving plants (hosta, trillium, fern) in a new bed I'm
preparing.

2) Really hardy -- we have hot summers, sometimes very wet, and cold
winters, also sometimes very wet

3) They should probably be moderate in stature -- it gets very windy here
in spring

Also I would like to know a few reliable sources for tree peonies.

Thanks,
Jim Shields
in central Indiana
