Herbaceous or Chinese Peony, Common Garden Peonies (Paeonia lactiflora) – This ancient Chinese Peony is the most popular peony of all. A garden simply is not complete without at least one type of Peony in it. Peonies do take some time to get established, but once they are they do not disappoint.
They are surprisingly easy to care for, requiring just the odd pruning and fall clean up. Once established they only need watering during a drought as they do not like wet soil. Peonies generally do not require fertilizing unless the quality of the soil is poor. With just a little attention, Peonies will reward you with large showy blooms, heady aromas and lots of attitude! Peony flowers are lush, romantic, fragrant and dramatic. They make excellent cutting flowers.
