There’s something quietly extraordinary about a bloom the size of a dinner plate opening on the same woody stems year after year. White tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa) delivers exactly that — silky, luminous flowers in mid to late spring, carried on a permanent woody framework that never dies back to the ground the way herbaceous peonies do.
Plant yours in full sun to part shade, in fertile, well-drained soil sheltered from harsh afternoon heat and wind. It asks for almost nothing in return: remove dead wood only, no hard pruning needed. Mature plants reach 48–72 inches tall and 48–60 inches wide, hardy in USDA zones 4–7.
We ship bare root in fall (September–November), when peonies are fully dormant and ready to settle in before winter triggers their spring bloom cycle. Fall planting consistently outperforms spring planting for long-term establishment and reliable flowering. Local pickup is available year-round at our Bellevue, WA location.
Choose your shipping window at checkout — fall 2026 or spring 2027, same price either way.
🍂 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.
