Shima-Nishiki Tree Peony
Shima-Nishiki Tree Peony
Aptly named to describe its vibrant flowers with an unusual pattern, the Japanese translation of this tree peony's name is "Fire Flame." Lush, fiery red blooms boast an irregular, white streaked pattern and a bright yellow, stamen filled center to provide an eye catching contrast. Though the blooms may open all red or all white at first, the pattern will emerge in time, once the plant becomes established. Mildly fragrant flowers and medium green foliage that is deeply divided into oval to lance-shaped leaflets.
