'PURPLE JADE CROWN' 紫冠玉带 Tree Peony (Paeonia x suffruticosa 'zu guan yu dai/purple jade crown')

NEW FOR FALL 2024. GROWN and IMPORTED directly from HEZE, SHANDONG, CHINA!

 紫冠玉带; Zu Guan Yu Dai; Purple Jade Crown; Success.

The Shandong region of China has been cultivating mudan (tree 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.

Mudan 'Zu Guan Yu Dai' or 'Purple Jade Crown' sports a bright-purple, fully-double blossom at the terminus of every branch. This 7" blossom is stuffed with notched petals that bring focus to its deep-purple center. The Chinese can be interpreted as 'Success', and is certainly aptly named! It is a fine example of refined breeding for both color and form.

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. It will likely thrive in higher growing zones if attention is paid to afternoon shade and deep mulching to keep the ground cool and moist.

Bare roots are available for shipping in late-fall and winter only. Tree peonies are sold by the branch number and not by the 'eye' as herbaceous and intersectional peonies. Typically, you will find single-branched tree peonies for sale. We pass these 'whips' over and opt for much larger and more mature 3-5 branched stock that you can expect to bloom the first or second year after planting. We were able to find 'Pink Jade Crown' grown out for a few extra years. It's a bit more pricey, but also that much further ahead for your garden! Tree peonies are also excellent choices for container grown specimens on your patios and decks. 

Zones 4-8

We do not ship potted peonies.
