Description
Paeonia spp. includes clump-forming, long-lived herbaceous perennials valued for their large, luxurious spring flowers and strong garden presence. Blooms appear in late spring to early summer and range from single and semi-double to fully double forms, often lightly to strongly fragrant. Flower colors include white, cream, blush, soft pink, rose, coral, red, and deep burgundy, with some cultivars displaying subtle color shifts as flowers mature. Stems are sturdy but may benefit from support in double-flowered types due to bloom size.
Foliage is deep green, glossy, and finely divided, forming a dense, rounded mound that remains attractive well after flowering. Plants are deciduous, dying back in winter and re-emerging reliably each spring, with excellent longevity and minimal disturbance once established. Paeonia spp. performs best in perennial borders, cutting gardens, cottage gardens, and foundation plantings, where it provides both early-season bloom and season-long foliage structure.
