Shrub (Tree) Peonies (dug only in fall)

Tree peonies have long been the flowers of nobility in the orient and have gotten a much undeserved reputation in the United States as a plant that is difficult to grow.  The plants do take time to mature, but may live for many hundreds of years given proper care.   Flowers often appear other worldy due to their incredible size and sometimes crepe paper-like texture.  Tree peonies are not trees, but do have persistent woody stems that may attain heights of 2 feet to over 8 feet (this will depend on the cultivar and/or location of planting).  The plants provide 4 seasons of interest and in my opinion should be more widely grown in our northern gardens.  If I had but one small space to plant a garden, this plant would be the choice!

Nearly all of our offerings were plants grafted at Solaris Farms and are of excellent quality.  At the time of shipping we will remove the nurse root at the graft, if sufficient tree peony roots have grown.  If the herbaceous peony understock remains, the plant will do equally as well in our experience.  After three years, or so, it is beneficial to dig the plant back up and remove the nurse root and allow the tree peony to be an 'own root plant'.  Some of the tree peonies we sell are division stock and will need no attention at time of shipping. 

Plants listed as small are generally one stocky stem, large plants will likely be multiple stems or very heavy single stems with new shoots in development.  These plants are not the same spindly material you find at local box stores or potted at nurseries, but are very vigorous and healthy.
