Shirley Temple Peony

The Shirley Temple Peony variety is a masterpiece of vitality and natural artistry.
1. This peony variety features classic crown-shaped to fully double flowers with numerous petals layered like an exquisite skirt, their edges displaying subtle natural folds. The center is surrounded by delicate, loosely arranged petals, forming a full, visually striking bloom.
2. The Shirley Temple Peony exhibits a dynamic color transformation: the buds initially appear as a shy pale pink, but as each petal unfolds, the color gradually deepens and purifies, finally settling into a pristine ivory white, sometimes retaining a faint pink blush at the petal tips.
3. The Shirley Temple Peony boasts exceptionally thick and robust stems with a dense pith, providing superior physical support compared to ordinary varieties, ensuring that the large flower heads remain upright even in wind and rain or when placed in a vase.

Shirley Temple peonies are consistently among the top ten best-selling peony varieties in the Dutch flower market, with strong global demand. Our Xuanye production base has over 300 acres of standardized planting area, with an annual production capacity of 5 million bulbs and 2 million cut flowers. This ensures a stable supply throughout the year, with no risk of shortages during peak seasons, and supports long-term strategic partnerships.

Q1: When this variety is exported as cut flowers, what are its vase life and blooming stability?
A: Shirley Temple is a recognized high-quality cut flower variety. After professional harvesting (usually when the flower buds show color and are slightly soft) and undergoing our standard preservation process, under suitable end-user care conditions, the vase life typically reaches 7-12 days. Its blooming process is stable, and the color changes are charming, making it highly popular with florists and consumers.

Q2: What is the best time to purchase rootstock? How long does it take to achieve full bloom after planting?
A: The best time to plant/purchase peony rootstock is in the autumn (September-November in the Northern Hemisphere), when the plants are dormant, which is beneficial for transportation and subsequent growth. Healthy divisions will flower in the first year after planting, with a significant increase in flower quantity in the second year, and reaching a prolific blooming period in the third year and beyond.

Q3: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)? Do you support sample testing?
A: To ensure the efficiency of commercial cooperation, the standard minimum order quantity for rootstock is 2000 plants, and for cut flowers it is 3000 stems. We understand the importance of samples and provide paid sample services so you can accurately assess the quality. Sample fees can be deducted from subsequent formal orders.

Q4: How does the packaging ensure that the rootstock remains highly viable after long-distance transportation?
A: Our packaging solution has been optimized through years of practice. After the rootstock is dug up during the dormancy period, it is screened, cleaned, and moderately moisturized, and then packaged using breathable and pressure-resistant materials to prevent overheating and mechanical damage. We will also provide professional storage and planting advice based on your destination climate and transportation time.
