Scientists differ on the number of species that can be distinguished, ranging from 25 to 40, although the current consensus is 33 known species.
The peony is outrageously beautiful in bloom with the fattest, most scrumptious flowers and lush green foliage. Enjoy breathtaking flowers from spring to summer.
Peonies are perennials that come back every year to take your breath away. In fact, the plants may live longer than you do—some have been known to thrive for at least 100 years.
Peonies are said to symbolize a happy life and a happy marriage.
Marco Polo described peony blossoms as “roses as big as cabbages”.
According to the ancient practice of phenology, when peonies blossom, it is safe to plant heat-loving melons, such as cantaloupe.
Peony petals are edible. Add to summer salads or use as garnish for lemonade and ice tea.
