Types of Peonies

There are three kinds of peonies: Tree, Herbaceous, and Itoh.

Tree peonies can grow 4 to 7 feet tall and have massive flowers.

Herbaceous peonies are the most common types. They favored for their low maintenance and longevity. They can live for as long as 50 years!

Itoh peonies are a blend of the tree and herbaceous peonies. They have the heartiness of the tree peony and their large blooms, but are perennials, like the herbaceous.

A Color For Every Occasion

As you can see from this list, peonies are available in almost every color of the rainbow. They are stunning in garden beds, or cut flower arrangements, and are a favorite for spring weddings. Choose colors that complement each other, or use varieties that bloom at different times so you can have them in bloom all spring and summer long!
