Peony Seeds grow into perennial, herbaceous or tree-like plants with clumping growth and large, fragrant, multi-petaled flowers in shades of pink, red, white, or yellow. They thrive in temperate climates with full sun to partial shade and well-draining, fertile soil. Peonies are ideal for garden beds, borders, and perennial landscapes, providing long-lasting blooms from late spring through early summer and attractive foliage throughout the growing season.
