The Queen of Flowers Peony Flower (Pack of 20)

The peony, often called the "Queen of Flowers," is cherished for its lush, full blooms, exquisite fragrance, and timeless beauty. Native to Asia, Europe, and Western North America, peonies have been cultivated for centuries and are especially revered in Chinese culture as symbols of wealth, honor, and romance. Their large, ruffled blossoms come in a wide range of colors, including white, pink, red, coral, and even deep burgundy, making them a striking addition to any garden or floral arrangement.

Peonies are generally divided into three types: herbaceous, tree, and intersectional (Itoh) hybrids. Herbaceous peonies die back in winter and reemerge in spring, while tree peonies have woody stems and bloom earlier in the season. Intersectional peonies combine the best traits of both, offering sturdy growth and abundant blooms.

In the garden, peonies are known for their longevity—often thriving for decades with minimal care. They prefer full sun and well-drained soil, blooming in late spring to early summer. Once established, they are drought-tolerant and resistant to pests and diseases. Their lush foliage also provides ornamental interest throughout the growing season.

Peonies are also a florist favorite, often used in weddings and special events due to their romantic appearance and sweet scent. Whether planted as a focal point in the garden or displayed in a vase indoors, peonies embody grace, elegance, and enduring charm. Their regal presence truly earns them the title of the "Queen of Flowers."
