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.
