Tree Peonies 
(PEONIA ARBOREA) 
This species; a shrub in character, is one or tie mss 
bloom in the early Spring, followed by the Herbaceous 
Peonies. 
Native to the mountains of China and from there imported 
into Japan, the Tree Peony was imported into this country at 
about the turn of the century. 
The flowers are larger than those of the Herbaceous 
Peonies and have a crepe-paper-like texture, ruffled and 
crimped on the edges of the petals. 
A well established, mature bush is a truly gorgeous sight 
when in full bloom, growing three to four feet in height and 
spread and bearing 25 to 100 blooms. 
Plant in early Fall, avoid exposure to North or West winds 
and protect the plants the first winter. 
Our shrubs are 4 to 5 years old and have already bloomed 
in the nursery.
