| Design Ideas | Peonies are among the most coveted perennials of the highbrow border. Their big bushy shape is outstanding in foundation planting and beds close to outdoor living spaces. They can also blend naturally into more casual settings creating focal points and bold color in season. A gorgeous plant for flower filled lawn islands and in high profile front yard locations. |

| Care | Easy to grow in average well-drained soils that are rich in organic matter. Follow a regular watering schedule during first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system.
