The easy to grow, trouble free plant that will bloom every year for
generations. This perfect landscape plant provides long lasting cut flowers with
a delightful fragrance.
Peonies like well drained soil in full sun and not too
close to large shrubs and trees that could rob them of water and nutrients.
It usually takes three years for
a peony flower to develop into its full beauty. Also, flower color is
affected by the soil the peony is planted in and may be more intense
when the ground is rich in minerals.
