What is a Tree Peony?

A tree peony is a woody perennial shrub known for its large, showy, and often fragrant flowers. Unlike herbaceous peonies that die back to the ground each winter, tree peonies have sturdy, woody stems that remain year-round and gradually grow into a small shrub over time—often reaching 3 to 5 feet tall.

Key Features of Tree Peonies:
Blooms: Enormous flowers in a wide range of colors—pink, white, purple, red, yellow, and bi-colored

Fragrance: Many varieties have a sweet, pleasant scent

Bloom Time: Typically bloom earlier than herbaceous peonies, in mid to late spring

Lifespan: Long-lived plants that can thrive for decades with minimal care

Cultural Symbolism: Revered in Chinese and Japanese cultures as symbols of beauty, wealth, and honor

Tree peonies are highly prized for landscape design, cut flowers, and garden collections, and are also available from nurseries for wholesale, bulk, or individual purchase. They thrive in well-drained soil and do best with morning sun and light afternoon shade.

What is the difference between tree peonies and herbaceous peonies?

Tree peonies are woody shrubs that retain above-ground stems year-round, unlike herbaceous peonies, which die back to the ground each winter. Tree peonies typically bloom earlier (mid to late spring), have larger and more diverse flowers, and can grow taller (up to 5 feet). They are also generally longer-lived and produce more substantial woody branches as they mature.

How do I plant tree peonies for best growth?

Tree peonies thrive in well-drained, fertile soil with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH. Choose a location with morning sun and afternoon shade or dappled light throughout the day. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and place the plant with the graft union 2–4 inches below the soil surface. Water thoroughly after planting and apply a mulch layer to retain moisture.

Do tree peonies require special care or pruning?

Tree peonies are relatively low-maintenance. Minimal pruning is required—simply remove dead or damaged branches in late winter or early spring. Avoid heavy pruning, as they bloom on old wood. Fertilize lightly in early spring with a balanced fertilizer and again after flowering. Ensure they are not overwatered, especially in clay soils, to prevent root rot.
