Peonies

Peonies are beloved for their lush, fragrant blooms and timeless elegance. With large, full flowers in shades of pink, white, red, and coral, peonies add a romantic, luxurious touch to any garden or floral arrangement. Their season is relatively short, typically blooming in late spring to early summer, but their breathtaking beauty makes them a cherished favorite.

In the garden, peonies thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. Once established, they are long-lived perennials, often blooming for decades with minimal care. Peonies prefer cool winters and need a period of cold to encourage flowering, making them ideal for growing in zone 5.
