You’re not just planting a peony — you’re planting a living heirloom. Ruffled Rose (Zou Mei Gui) is a Rockii tree peony prized for its deeply ruffled, show-stopping blooms and exceptional cold hardiness, thriving in USDA zones 4–9.
Your bareroot plant arrives dormant in fall — 2 to 3 years old, 2 to 3 branches, roughly 10 to 25 inches tall. By spring, expect lush new growth reaching around 3 feet. Fall planting is intentional: cool soil temperatures trigger the cold stratification that leads to strong establishment and reliable blooms.
Give this beauty partial shade, moderately even moisture during establishment, and fertile, well-drained soil with neutral to slightly alkaline pH. Mulch lightly in colder areas and never let roots sit in waterlogged soil over winter. Beyond that, Rockii tree peonies are remarkably self-sufficient.
A plant that gets more beautiful with every passing decade — and rewards patient gardeners generously.
Ships September through November. 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.
