The Tree Peony 'Kokuryu-nishiki', Paeonia suffruticosa 'Kokuryunishiki', has medium size, maroon-purple flowers with some white markings near the edges. Imported from Japan, it is a marvellous and unique variety that produces medium sized flowers. Tree peonies (Paeonia suffruiticosa) are actually shrubs, not trees. They produce woody stems and do not die back to the ground like herbaceous peonies.They are slow growing but long lived. Some specimens in China are thought to be more than 200 years old. Plants eventually grow to 3 to 5 feet tall, but they may take decades to do so. Plants prefer rich, moist, well-drained soils in partial or dappled shade. Plants bloom best in sunny sites, but flowers last longer in shady sites.
