Run your fingers along the name — Embroidered Robe (Yin Zhen Xiu Hong Pao) — and you already sense what’s coming: blooms that unfurl like silk brocade, intricate and layered, reaching a remarkable 9 inches across. This Rockii tree peony is one of the most ornate selections in a genus already known for drama.
You’ll receive a dormant bareroot plant, 2–3 years old with 2–3 branches, shipped at 10–25 inches tall. By its first spring flush, expect roughly 3 feet of graceful height. Plant it in fertile, well-drained soil with neutral to slightly alkaline pH — partial shade suits it beautifully here in the Pacific Northwest.
Water moderately during establishment, keeping soil evenly moist but never waterlogged, especially in winter. A light mulch in colder areas goes a long way. Hardy in USDA zones 4–9, this deciduous tree peony rewards patient gardeners with decades of increasingly spectacular bloom.
Fall shipping (September–November) captures the ideal bareroot planting window, giving roots time to settle before winter. 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.
