Tree Peony Shima Nishiki

Tree Peony (woody peony) Shima Nishiki
suffruticosa

Red-white, semi-double, early, suffruticosa cultivar. Each flower can be different. Young plants may display solid red flowers, sometimes a white flower, but mostly the red/white stripe is evident as plant matures.

Tree peonies tend to bloom earlier than most common herbaceous peonies. Branches do not die back to the ground in winter.

Tree peonies do not respond well to transplanting and take time to get established. They are developing deep, substantial root system that will help the peony to bloom. Add compost topping each fall to fertilize the soil.

Tree peonies are deer resistant.

Ships as: 4-year old graft or a division of a field-grown plant.
