Peony - Bowl of Beauty All of our peonies are widely adaptable to most soils across the country. Peonies are one of the best cut flowers and are often used in the Midwest to decorate gravesites on Memorial Day. It is not uncommon to see peonies planted along the driveway or lane in a mass. Often thought of as a plant used on the farm or out in the country, they bring a little bit of that country feeling to your garden. They bloom in mid to late spring and have very large, colorful blooms that stand out in the spring garden. Peonies can handle dry to moist sites, and do best in full sun but can handle some light shade. Gardening News and Articles |
