There’s something quietly theatrical about the moment Double Blush opens — those enormous 8-inch blooms unfurl in layers of soft pink that deepen toward the center, a color story that shifts with the light throughout the day.
This Rockii tree peony (Paeonia rockii ‘Xin Long Er Qiao’) arrives as a dormant bareroot plant, 2–3 years old with 2–3 branches, shipped in fall when the timing works in your favor. Roots settle into still-warm soil before winter, and cold stratification does the quiet work of building the vigor that drives reliable blooms. By spring, you can expect around 3 feet of growth.
Plant yours in partial shade with fertile, well-drained soil on the neutral to slightly alkaline side. Water moderately during establishment — evenly moist, never waterlogged. In colder winters, a light layer of mulch is all it needs. Hardy in zones 4–9.
Local pickup available year-round at our Bellevue, WA location. Fall shipping runs September through November — this is the window that sets your peony up to thrive.
🍂 Shipping & planting window
Peonies ship in fall (September–November) when fully dormant and bare root. This is the only window we ship.
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.
