Peony Shimanishiki

Enormous, ruffled, satin-like flowers in a breathtaking combination of red and white. This peony is a connoisseur's delight! Height 70cm. Flowers May-June (and mature plants may re-bloom in August). Tree variety.The tree peony, Paeonia suffruticosa, was originally developed by the Chinese over a thousand years ago, and then further developed by the Japanese. The first specimens were introduced into Britian in the 18th century, and more were collected between 1843 and 1862 by the Victorian botanist Robert Fortune. Unlike their herbaceous cousins, they do not die down each autumn, but instead grow into large shrubs, and they boast beautifully dissected foliage and flowers that are so large and layered that they almost don't seem quite real. Paeonia plants are a traditional mainstay of the English cottage garden border, their voluptuous blooms evocative of another era. They're hardy, very easy to grow, relatively drought-tolerant and will put on an annual performance for decades to come. Ideal for cutting, they come in an awe-inspiring range of shapes and colours.. 1 Bare Root Plant. Full growing instructions included.. Flower / Fruit from May-June. Average Growing Height: 61-70CM. .
