Quitzin Peony Root with 3-5 Eyes

Quitzin peony, an exceptionally rare and fascinating botanical masterpiece that stands as one of the most uniquely colored cultivars in the entire world. Hybridized by Professor Harald Fawkner in Sweden, this robust tetraploid hybrid transitions through an incredible color evolution. It starts as a tight, grass-green global bud before slowly unfurling into an immense, bomb-shaped full double bloom packed with alternating layers of rich buttercream, champagne, and warm sulphur-yellow. Rising on tall, vigorous stems that can reach up to 3 feet in height, it showcases glossy deep green leaves and fills the garden with a highly unusual, crisp, minty fragrance. Intensely coveted by plant collectors and niche cut-flower growers for its unmatched fantasy-like palette and sheer uniqueness, Quitzin is an elite late-season treasure that commands instant attention.

Terms & Conditions (Checkout Agreement)

By checking out, you agree to our terms and designated shipping schedule. Once your order is confirmed, it is final, and the buyer assumes responsibility for proper root storage if the ground is frozen upon delivery. Mild weather windows across many regions allow for successful outdoor planting well into December. Because peonies benefit from winter chill, you can easily dig your planting holes ahead of time if freezing soil is a concern.

Bare Root Peony Growing Information & When to Expect Blooms

Planting Time: Plant your bare roots in the fall as soon as you receive them, before the ground freezes solid. This gives the root system time to establish over the winter.

Planting Depth: Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the roots. Position the root with the "eyes" (buds) pointing upward, 1 to 2 inches below the soil surface. Planting them too deep will prevent the plant from blooming.

Sun & Soil: Choose a location with full sun (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily) and rich, well-draining soil. Avoid waterlogged areas to prevent rot.

When to Expect Blooms:

  • Year 1 (First Spring): The plant will focus its energy on root establishment and foliage growth. You may see a few green shoots or small leaves, but blooms are rare or may be very small.
  • Year 2: Foliage will become fuller and stronger, and you may get your first light bloom.
  • Years 3 and Beyond: The peony will reach maturity, producing its full-sized, abundant blossoms and peak performance.
