Peonies are long-lived plants of real presence, grown for a brief but unforgettable early-summer display of bowl-shaped or fully double flowers, frequently scented and carried on strong stems above deeply divided foliage. The genus takes in herbaceous perennials that die back each autumn and woody tree peonies that build a permanent framework of branches. Both resent disturbance and reward patience: an established clump may flower reliably for decades, with leaves that colour attractively before they fall.
