Make your garden even more captivating by pairing peonies with the contrasting flower shape and foliage of graceful irises. Try blending romantic roses with the lush leaves of peony plants, or the cheerful look of daisies peeking out from below. For a combination of sweet scents add lavender, or ornamental grasses with your peonies for a mix of textures and colors.

Where to Plant Peonies

Peonies love soaking up the sunshine. Pick a spot in your yard with at least 6 hours of sunlight each day for the best flowers. Whether in a garden bed, along a border garden’s edge, or as a standout focal point, peonies will add an impressive display.

Peony plants are hardy and resilient, able to withstand a range of climates and conditions.

Most types of peonies are hardy in Zone 3-8 with some variation for even colder and warmer Zones depending on the type you choose.
