Paeonia suffruticosa 'Shimadaijin'

Paeonia 'Shimadaijin' Tree Peony

Common Name: Tree Peony

This rare Imperial Peony from Japan whose name translates to ‘Island Minister’ is the finest quality tree peony available.  Very large 8”, semi-double, fragrant, rich magenta purple blossoms absolutely glow in the garden from late spring into early summer.  You’ll want to snap this one up early before it sells out!

Peonies are classic garden plants that add a bit of nostalgia and charm to the garden. Tree peonies differ from garden peonies in that they have woody stems like a shrub. The branches do not die back to the ground in winter as do the herbaceous varieties. Exotic, uniquely colored, and often fragrant blooms are produced in late spring, about two or three weeks before the garden varieties.
