Peonies

 BEST & EASIEST PERENNIALS:
Peony  

Talk about dependable!

 

Peonies last for years with very little help from you.

 

Peonies form pretty, 3-foot tall mounds of foliage that burst into bloom in mid-spring; May to June.

 

The plants are available in single, double, or semi-double forms, and flowers range in colors and bi-colors.

 

Peony blooms can be highly fragrant and make extraordinary spring bouquets for weddings or graduations.

 

They require a sunny garden spot that’s well drained—they don’t like heavy, mucky soil.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Growing Tip:    Peonies require a period of cold and darkness to bloom well.
