PeonyLand believes in providing the best Chinese tree peonies. All the Chinese tree peonies we sell have been field grown or pot-grown here at our nursery in Richlandtown for at least 2 years. Our tree peonies are well-rooted and established plants. After 2 years we know they will grow well and flower true. We do NOT import plants and then re-sell them to you like most of the others. If you buy tree peonies are other sources, make sure they provide you with tree peonies that have been grown for at least 2 years in the U.S. This is the only way to be absolutely certain that the plant will not only survive, but grow well. If you would like to place an order, please call 215-536-9388 Each variety is available in 3-4 divisions, 5-6 divisions, and 7+ divisions. All varieties are guaranteed to be true to their name and description. We offer all varieties bare-rooted (shipped in the fall), and potted (call for availability). Each color category has many varieties of beautiful Chinese tree peonies. If you have any questions, please call us for information. Because of our high production, we are able to give current low prices on a daily basis, please call for pricing information.
