Plant Type: Peonies

A very popular Japanese tree peony. ‘Shima-Nishiki’ is known as ‘Dao Jin’ in Chinese and ‘Royal Elegance’ in English. This unusually colored tree peony exhibits very large, bi-colored, red flowers marbled with white and pink in late-spring. The blossoms have a nice light fragrance and appear on erect stems above deep-green foliage with an interesting deeply-divided texture. ‘Shima-Nishiki’ is an ideal choice for any gardener who is looking for something a bit different. The gigantic 10″, semi-double flowers have a magical appearance with their flamboyant coloring of raspberry-red and pale-pink to white marbling held high on relatively low shrubs up to 4-feet tall and wide.
