Meet Snowy Pagoda Tree Peony—a botanical masterpiece from the legendary peony gardens of Shandong, China. Each spring, this stately shrub bursts into clouds of immense, fully double blooms, pure white with the faintest blush at the heart. Silky petals catch the sunlight like fresh snow, while a gentle fragrance lingers just long enough to make you stop and smile.
Unlike the fleeting charm of herbaceous peonies, this tree peony forms a graceful, woody base that returns stronger year after year. Mature plants can reach up to 6–8 feet tall and nearly as wide, creating a sculptural garden feature even when not in bloom. With its dark, lobed foliage and elegant upright habit, Snowy Pagoda Tree Peony is as much an architectural statement as it is a floral one.
Perfectly rated to be cold hardy for USDA Zones 4–9, 'Bai Xue Ta' thrives in well-drained soil and full to partial sun. It's surprisingly heat-tolerant and deer-resistant, making it a dependable choice for a wide range of landscapes. Whether gracing a courtyard, anchoring a perennial border, or standing solo as a garden showpiece, Snowy Pagoda Tree Peony transforms any space into a living work of art.

SNOWY PAGODA TREE PEONY Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips
- Recommended Soil:
- Prefers fertile, well-draining soil enriched with compost or organic matter.
- Slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0) for best nutrient uptake.
- Avoid heavy clay or overly wet spots to prevent root rot.
- Sun Exposure:
- Full sun to part shade (minimum 6 hours of direct light daily).
- In hot climates, provide gentle afternoon shade to protect blooms.
- Irrigation Needs:
- Keep soil evenly moist, especially during first year after planting.
- Deep water weekly during dry spells; avoid standing water.
- Reduce watering in winter dormancy.
- Feeding & Nutrients:
- Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer (10-10-10) in early spring.
- Top-dress annually with compost or well-rotted manure.
- Avoid excess nitrogen — it promotes foliage at the expense of flowers.
- Pruning & Maintenance:
- Prune only to remove dead, damaged, or crossing wood after bloom.
- Cut back spent flowers to tidy appearance and encourage energy to roots.
- Mulch lightly in winter to insulate roots, keeping crown exposed.
- Protect early buds from late frosts with a breathable cover if needed.
