NEW FOR FALL 2024. GROWN and IMPORTED directly from HEZE, SHANDONG, CHINA! 紫楼闪金; Zi Lou Shan Jin ; Purple Tower Flashing Gold/Royal Wealth. The Shandong region of China has been cultivating mudan (tree peonies) for over three thousand years!

Mudan 'Zi Lou Shan Jin' or 'Purple Tower Flashing Gold', or 'Royal Wealth', sports a rosy-purple, fully-double blossom at the terminus of every branch. This modestly small-sized blossom is crowded with delicate, dusky petals each with a dark-purple flare that brings mesmerizing visual depth. When fully open the stamen can be appreciated for their golden yellow contrast. Only a very few plants are available AND you will not be finding this cultivar in your neighbors garden anytime soon...unless they beat you to this beauty! Fragrant mid-season blooming. (Chen, D.Z.).
