Stock#: P-101-2 MSRP: $125.00  Your Price: $99.00 Snow Lotus Xue Lian This rockii tree peony is the classic flowering shrub of China. Excellent plants available, proven to grow well in zones 4-9. This is a cultivar of rockii tree peony commonly known in the U.S. as "Joseph Rock". It is named for the botanist who first brought seeds of this type of peony from northern China to America early in the 20th century. The Chinese grow more than 100 variations of white rockii tree peonies. This particular one, known as "Snow Lotus" is very fast growing and extremely hardy. Flowers are white with dark maroon- purple flares at the petal base. Flowers are 8-10" in diameter, in the lotus form and are held well above the foliage. Flowers have a dense, sweet fragrance. All rockii hybrids are vigorous and tall growing, and extremely floriferous. This size is now 3 yrs. old, with 2 thick woody stems, about 2 ft. tall with foliage. Expect these plants to grow to 4 ft. wide and 5 ft. tall by their 8-10th year. These plants may be pruned after blooming to keep them smaller, but we suggest you give them room to grow into their potential as true specimen shrubs. This peony can be shipped to USDA zones 4-7 in spring. Warmer zones of 8 & 9 are best planted from late fall to December - mid-February and can ship now.
