Peony Shimanishiki, Paeonia suffruticosa ‘Shimanishiki’, is a colorful, two-toned variety with large reddish purple flowers with streaks of white throughout the petals. ‘Shimanishiki’ is an exotic beauty that makes an excellent specimen plant for spring color! Tree Peonies differ from garden peonies in that they have a woody stem like a shrub. The woody branches do not die back to the ground in the winter and should not be trimmed back. There are very few plants that can compete with a tree peony in full bloom. A mature plant can have in excess of a hundred flowers and these can be 10″ or more across! Japanese tree peonies tend to have less double flowers than their Chinese peers, and the flowers are more open and delicate. Growing only 4-5′ tall, these exceptional tree peonies are sub-zero hardy and bloom for a lifetime.
