Open a window when Fragrant Blaze (Xiang Nong Se Yan) is in bloom — its rich, spiced fragrance drifts through the garden before you even see the flowers. This rare Rockii tree peony (*Paeonia rockii*) arrives as a dormant bareroot plant, 2–3 years old with 2–3 established branches, typically 10–25 inches tall at shipping. Come spring, expect growth to around 3 feet as this deciduous beauty begins settling into its long life in your garden.
Plant it in partial shade with fertile, well-drained soil — neutral to slightly alkaline — and water moderately during establishment, keeping roots evenly moist but never waterlogged. Hardy in USDA zones 4–9, it appreciates a light layer of mulch through colder winters.
Fragrant Blaze ships fall only (September–November), bareroot and fully dormant — the window that gives roots time to anchor before winter and rewards you with reliable blooms each spring. Local pickup available upon request.
🍂 Shipping & planting window
Peonies ship in fall (September–November) when fully dormant and bare root.
Fall planting gives roots a full season to establish in warm soil before winter. Cold stratification triggers strong, healthy spring growth and reliable bloom production. Spring-shipped peonies experience root damage during active growth, transplant shock during their bloom cycle, and often lose an entire growing season.
