There’s something quietly theatrical about the moment a Magic Lotus Lantern bloom opens — those wide, layered petals unfurling like silk lanterns catching afternoon light, each flower stretching nearly eight inches across.
This is a Rockii Tree Peony, a lineage rooted in ancient Chinese cultivation and prized for its dramatic, long-lived presence in the garden. You’re receiving a dormant bareroot plant, two to three years old with two to three branches, arriving ten to twenty-five inches tall. Come spring, expect it to reach roughly three feet as new growth emerges — and then, in time, something truly enduring.
Plant yours in partial shade with fertile, well-drained soil that leans neutral to slightly alkaline. Water moderately during establishment, keeping soil evenly moist but never waterlogged. In colder areas, a light layer of mulch protects the crown through winter. Hardy in most temperate gardens, this peony rewards patient, attentive care with decades of extraordinary bloom.
Fall shipping — September through November — is the only window we ship, because dormant bareroot planting gives roots an entire season to settle before spring.
🍂 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.
