The peony is a hardy perennial that, once it becomes established, will flower for many years with little care.
Many gardeners consider the peony as the backbone of any perennial border.
They produce beautiful flowers in the spring and have attractive foliage throughout the growing season. There are two kinds of peonies grown. The second type is the tree peony. The tree peony grows to a height of four to six feet. Most gardeners have greater success growing the herbaceous peony rather than the tree form.
