There’s something quietly theatrical about the moment ‘Rosy Cheeks’ opens — petals the color of a flushed winter sunrise unfurling around a golden center, each bloom spanning nearly seven inches across. This Rockii Tree Peony carries centuries of Chinese garden tradition into your Pacific Northwest landscape, where it will grow into a commanding, multi-stemmed shrub reaching around three feet tall in its first few seasons.
Plant yours in partial shade with fertile, well-drained soil that leans neutral to slightly alkaline. Water moderately during establishment — evenly moist, never soggy — and in colder climates, a light layer of mulch after fall planting protects young roots without trapping moisture. Rated for USDA zones 4–9, this is a genuinely cold-hardy deciduous peony that earns its place over decades, not just one season.
Your plant ships dormant and bare root in fall, which is exactly when tree peonies want to travel — roots settle into warm soil before winter, then wake refreshed and ready to bloom. 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.
