$34.50

There was a time, many years ago in ancient China, when the only person who could own a tree peony was the Emperor himself. They grow 4-5' tall and make ideal specimen plants. We're not sure what the penalty was for infringing this law, but it can't have been very pleasant. The Tree Peony Shima-nishiki, 'Paeonia', is a rare two-toned beauty that has immense red and white double flowers. There are very few plants that can compete with a tree peony in full bloom. This Tree Peony has huge, ruffled, satin-like flowers that are super hardy! Every garden needs a tree peony. Growing only 4-5' tall, these exceptional Tree Peonies are sub-zero hardy and bloom for a lifetime. Fortunately for us, tree peonies are now slightly more available. 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. ... more info
