Hello, everyone!

Today I want to introduce a much sought-after variety. Although plants subsequently known as Paeonia rockii were originally introduced to western cultivation in the 1920s, it was still little known in cultivation.

The tissue paper blooms are splashed with deep burgundy at the base of each petal. There are few plants that can compete with the beauty of a tree peony in full bloom.

The peony flowers of the tree peony are simply breathtaking in borders and make exquisite cut flowers for vases indoors.
