There’s something almost otherworldly about the moment Blushing Fairy opens — a bloom nearly six and a half inches across, its petals flushed with soft color against the dark, lacquer-like centers that define Rockii tree peonies. This is a plant that rewards patience and returns that patience tenfold, year after year.
Hardy through USDA zones 4–9, this deciduous shrub arrives as a dormant bareroot plant, two to three years old with two to three branches, shipping at 10–25 inches tall. Come spring, expect it to reach around three feet. Give it partial shade, fertile and well-drained soil with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH, and moderate, even moisture during establishment — never waterlogged, especially in winter. A light layer of mulch in colder climates is all the extra care it needs.
Peonies ship bareroot in fall (September–November) only — the timing that gives roots the best possible start.
🍂 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.
