Tree peonies are not really trees. They're woody shrubs with flowers so commanding, it's easy to see why they're known at the Queen of Flowers.

They are much slower than herbaceous peonies in attaining their full garden glory, and so correct planting and patience are requisite before you can start counting blooms. Sorry, there are simply no get-blooms-quick schemes, even when planting bigger, fatter, older plants. You still need to give the plants time to do their thing.

Tree peonies at maturity are nothing short of breathtaking, but you need to temper your expectations with some of the cultural realities, like the weather and the time it takes for a tree peony to grow good roots in a new location.

NOTE: Since our tree peonies are shipped bare root, they are shipped only in the fall. Many more varieties are available at the nursery.

SIZE: Most are multi-branched 3 to 4 yrs stock with thick stems; some are divisions from older stock. All are quality specimens.
