Paeonia suffruticosa - Shima-nishiki (“Fire Flame”)
Paeonia suffruticosa ‘Shima-nishiki’, also known as Fire Flame, is a captivating Japanese tree peony whose name evokes the fiery allure of its blooms. Each semi–double flower features dramatic red petals streaked and marbled with white, centrally accented by golden-yellow stamens.
