There’s something quietly magnificent about watching a tree peony wake from winter dormancy — and Northwest Hero (Long Yuan Zhuang Shi) makes that moment unforgettable. Come spring, its deeply cupped blooms open to nearly 8 inches across, revealing petals in rich, layered tones that stop you mid-step on the way to the mailbox.
This Rockii tree peony arrives as a dormant bareroot plant, 2–3 years old with 2–3 branches, typically 10–25 inches at shipping. Expect plants to reach around 3 feet tall with new spring growth. Hardy in USDA zones 4–9, it thrives in partial shade with moderate, even moisture — never waterlogged, especially in winter. Plant in fertile, well-drained soil with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH. In colder climates, a light layer of mulch after planting gives roots extra insurance.
🍂 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.
