This group is characterized by its woody branches which stay above ground even when the leaves go through their seasonal dormancy. Most have originated in China or Japan, and are imported from the Orient today. They are well-suited to the Western Hemisphere temperate regions, USDA zones 5 - 10, with the Rockii types being fully hardy down to zone 4 and borderline in zone 3 ("Tropical" tree peonies do exist but are extremely rare in commerce and we do not presently offer any of those). Like bush peonies, regular tree peonies are long-living and fragrant, requiring minimal care, once established. The fragrance varies, but might be described as "rose-like." Tree peonies have become difficult to obtain in recent years because of strict agricultural scrutiny of shipments from China. We have settled upon reputable suppliers with the best connections, highest integrity, and best record for delivery of large and healthy stock, which is guaranteed true-to name.
Our Cultivars
Following are some of the most showy, vigorous and most fragrant tree peony cultivars money can buy. Aside from a couple of items we designate as "challenging," we've picked the more reliable and prolific types, appropriate for novice collectors as well as seasoned aficionados.
Sizes
Our size grades are indicated for each item. This is important when comparison shopping. We're confident we offer the best value for your dollar in terms of size and quality. We have discontinued the smaller size grades due to sub-optimal survival statistics in the past.
Shipping
We supply bare-root trees. We will ship right away beginning in November, (great planting time), unless you request later date. If ordered past December, we may need to delay shipping until February or March to avoid severe weather. We can only supply bare-root tree peonies until MARCH 31. Anything planted later than this cannot be fully guaranteed, as it becomes steadily more difficult to establish the plants the later into the season you begin.
