'FUJI' Peony (Paeonia x lactiflora '兰富士-Lán Fùshì')
兰富士; 'Lán Fùshì'; 'Fuji', 'Orchid'.
'FUJI' is a lavender-hued herbaceous hybrid peony from the city of Heze, (formerly named Caozhou), Shandong Provence, People's Republic of China. This region of China has been cultivating 'Mudan' (peonies) for over three thousand years! Champlain Peony Company is pleased to present this lovely 'King of Flowers' from China's ancient peony capital in very limited edition. The name 'Fuji' is as close an English version of the traditional Chinese hanzi 兰富士 as we can come.
USDA Zones 4-8 would be very successful zones for this peony. It can tolerate somewhat warmer areas than most other peonies. Where they are grown in Shandong, China is similar to the American interior mid-Atlantic and mid-western regions with cold, dry winters and hot, humid summers. Typical winter low temps are in the teens Fahrenheit with dips into single digits and with summer temps often exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
Bare roots are available for shipping in late-fall and winter only.
We do not ship potted peonies.

I have always loved see peonies. I ordered peonies from three different stores. Champlain peony roots/rhizomes were huge and most had 6 or more sprouts. I paid other companies 15.00 for one root with 2-3 sprouts. They have a lot more varieties to choose from. I order from Champlain from now own. My fiancée and I are excited with our purchase! Thank you
