Fun Peony Facts

Each different variety of peonies smell different!

Peonies can live up to 50 - 100 years!! 

They most commonly symbolize bringing good fortune and a happy marriage. 

Peonies are Perennials. This means they come back every year without you having to plant new ones. 

Ants are good for them! They are attracted to the nectar of peonies & help protect it by keeping other harmful insects away. Yay ants!

Herbaceous peonies are the most common types of peonies. They have soft stems that are easy to cut. Their stems and leaves die and fall to the ground each winter.

Tree peonies are less common. As opposed to herbaceous peonies, tree peonies are small shrubs that have hard woody stems that do not die to the ground each year.

Peonies thrive and flourish the most when they are in an area with full sun, and have long cold winters. 

Each variety blooms at different times. Some will open around late Spring, while others open around late May.
