There’s something quietly theatrical about the moment Peach Blossom Champion opens — each bloom stretching to nearly eight inches across, layers of soft pink petals unfurling like something from an old Chinese scroll painting.
This Rockii Tree Peony (Paeonia rockii) arrives as a dormant bareroot plant, two to three years old with two to three branches and standing ten to twenty-five inches tall at shipping. Come spring, expect plants to reach around three feet as new growth emerges. Remarkably cold-hardy for a tree peony, it thrives in USDA Zones 4–9 with very little fuss through winter — just a light layer of mulch in colder climates and well-drained soil to prevent waterlogging.
Give it partial shade, moderate water during establishment, and fertile, slightly alkaline soil, and it will reward you for decades.
We ship bareroot in fall (September–November), the optimal window for root establishment before winter dormancy. Local pickup in Bellevue is available year-round.
🍂 Shipping & planting window
Peonies ship in fall (September–November) when fully dormant and bare root. This is the only window we ship.
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.
📍 Local pickup available year-round in Bellevue, WA.
