Discover the magnificent Paeonia rockii, otherwise known as Rock's peony. This robust, woody perennial (a tree peony) hails from the mountains of Gansu and other provinces in China and is appreciated for its striking appearance and durability. It reaches generous heights of 6-9 ft, flaunting a crown width of 10-13 ft. You'll be captivated by the stunning flowers that are white to pale pink with dark maroon blotches at the bases of the petals and can be up to six inches across. These flowers appear in mid-spring As an enchanting bonus, the Paeonia rockii emits a strong fragrance that can dominate ten other open peony flowers. This ornamental wonder isn't just a pretty face - it's also known for its resistance to both drought and frost with a tolerance to salt and base; it can even withstand temperatures as low as -45 °F. Cultivated not only for its beauty, Paeonia rockii is also used as an herbal remedy in traditional Chinese medicine. Explore our range of Paeonia rockii and its hybrids for a stunning addition to your garden.
