Why Plant Peonies?
Peonies produce colossal flowers atop masses of glossy green foliage, and require almost no care. In fact, many perennial peonies live over 100 years without any special effort from the gardener. That longevity comes with only one request: access to full sun and good soil. Popular in flower arrangements, these fragrant show-offs will last even longer if you can manage to trim their stems at an angle and change the vase water every other day. For dinner plate-sized blooms, upright plants, and even more color choices (yellow!) be sure to look at our selection of Itoh peonies.
