Peony Tree Shimane Island Collection These Tree Peonies display huge, ruffled, satin-like flowers that are super hardy! Every garden needs a tree peony. There was a time, many years ago in ancient China, when the only person who could own a tree peony was the Emperor himself. There are very few plants that can compete with a tree peony in full bloom. A mature plant can have in excess of a hundred flowers and these can be 10" or more across! The flowers range in color from maroon, crimson, scarlet, various shades of pink, to pure white. Japanese tree peonies tend to have less double flowers than their Chinese peers, and the flowers are more open and delicate.
