Gao Li Hong is a Rockii tree peony (Paeonia rockii) carrying deep magenta petals edged in violet, silky in texture, with a fragrance that carries in still air. The Rockii group is noted for cold hardiness. Plant in partial shade in fertile, well-drained soil, neutral to slightly alkaline. Water moderately, keeping the soil evenly moist but never waterlogged, particularly through winter. A light mulch protects the roots in colder areas. Hardy in USDA zones 4–9. First-season growth reaches around three feet as the roots establish.
Supplied as a dormant bare-root plant, two to three years old, with two to three established branches, shipped in fall while fully dormant. Local pickup available on 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.
