Tree Peony - White
Details
Elevate your floral offering with the structural elegance and massive blooms of the Tree Peony. Unlike herbaceous varieties, Paeonia suffruticosa forms a permanent, woody shrub that does not die back to the ground in winter, offering year-round architectural value and increasing bloom proficiency with maturity.
For the cut flower farmer and greenhouse grower, the Tree Peony represents a luxury investment. These plants produce dinner-plate-sized blooms with crinkled, satin-like petals that command top-tier pricing in wedding and event markets.
Commercial Grower Benefits:
Season Extension: Tree peonies typically bloom 2–3 weeks earlier than herbaceous peonies, allowing you to capture the early spring market before the standard peony glut arrives.
Premium Yield: The massive flower heads (often 6–10 inches across) and unique woody stems make these a focal point in high-end arrangements, justifying a significant markup per stem.
Exceptional Longevity: These are true heirloom plants. Once established, they are incredibly long-lived (50+ years), drought-tolerant, and disease-resistant, serving as a low-maintenance, recurring revenue source.
Grower Notes:
Hardiness: Requires well-draining soil; protect from harsh winds to preserve heavy blooms.
Harvest: Harvest when buds are "marshmallow soft" for longest vase life.
