There’s something quietly theatrical about a flower that takes its time — and when Blushing Princess (Fen Xi Shi) finally opens in late spring, that patience pays off completely. Her blooms unfurl to nearly 7 inches across in soft, layered petals that carry the delicate fragrance characteristic of Rockii tree peonies, a species celebrated for its dark-centered flowers and exceptional cold hardiness.
This dormant bareroot plant arrives 2–3 years old with 2–3 established branches. Expect 10–25 inches at shipping, growing to around 3 feet with new spring growth. Plant her in partial shade with fertile, well-drained soil — neutral to slightly alkaline — and water moderately, keeping roots evenly moist but never waterlogged. Hardy in USDA zones 4–9; mulch lightly in colder climates and ensure good winter drainage.
Peonies ship bareroot in fall (September–November), the only window that supports true establishment. 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.
