Peony - Tree - Seidei

The Tree Peony Seidei, 'Paeonia', produces a delicate peachy-pink flower with soft pink edge. 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. We're not sure what the penalty was for infringing this law, but it can't have been very pleasant. Fortunately for us, tree peonies are now slightly more available. 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!

Growing only 4-5' tall, these exceptional Tree Peonies are sub-zero hardy and bloom for a lifetime. ... additional information
