Tree 
Peonies 

~ 
The Tree Peony has been the chief pride and glory of gardens in China for 1,400 years, a 
theme for poets and painters, and prized by the emperors for the beauty of its flowers. ‘Tree 
Peonies are hardy, even though their flowers have exotic colors not often found in the North. 
The blooms are large—often a foot in diameter. 
Tree Peonies form dwarf shrubs that eventually reach a height of 3.to 4 feet. They bloom 
several weeks earlier than herbaceous Peonies. 
The following prices apply to strong 4 to 5-year old field-grown plants that have already 
bloomed in the nursery. The height varies according to the variety, ranging from 12 to 24 
inches, with several stems. These are NOT potted plants.
