There’s something quietly extraordinary about a flowering shrub that outlives its gardener — and their grandchildren. “Peach Blossom Manor” (Paeonia suffruticosa) is a rare Chinese tree peony producing blossoms 6–8 inches across in shades of soft peach-pink, with a light to medium fragrance that drifts through a May garden like something from another century.
Unlike herbaceous peonies that disappear underground each winter, this woody-stemmed shrub keeps its structure year-round — eventually reaching 5–6 feet tall and wide over its 100-year lifespan. You’ll receive a 2–3 year old bare root plant, 10–29 inches, already bloomed.
Place it where it receives morning light and afternoon shade; full sun scorches the leaves. Water deeply but infrequently — soggy soil is the primary cause of failure. Keep it well away from automatic sprinkler systems. Feed with composted manure in spring and fall. Hardy in zones 4–9, tolerant of cold winters and hot summers once established.
A true heirloom shrub for gardeners who think in decades.
🍂 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.
