This is a new variety from Gansu Province, China. It is one of the many rockii tree peonies be...Read Moreing hybridized there. We especially like its deep purple color. It will often begin to bloom when 4 yrs. old as a semi-double form, growing as a double in subsequent years. It has dark maroon-black flares at the base of the flowers. Flowers are about 8 inches in diameter, and are held well above the foliage. Flowers have a dense, sweet fragrance.
All rockii hybrids are vigorous and tall growing, and extremely floriferous. Expect these plants to grow to 4 ft. wide and 5 ft. tall by their 10th year. These may be pruned after blooming to keep them smaller if garden space is limited.
