These beauties steal the show with their luxuriant blooms and foliage, so here's a ton of varieties to ogle—and to plant
Peonies are one of the glories of spring: fragrant and colorful —sometimes as big as your head—floating on feathery foliage. It’s no wonder that peonies have made a comeback as a best-selling flower. Here are a few dozen of the peonies that have our jaws on the floor.
Picking the perfect peony is more than just finding a pretty shade (although that doesn't hurt). Follow our guide to our favorite peony varieties to find out when they bloom, their size, and, of course, what they'll look like.
And for how to care for peonies like a pro, click over to our peony guide .
Bright yellow double blooms have a spicy scent. Stems are sturdy―great for bouquets―and foliage is lush and dark green.
A new introduction, ‘Bartzella’ is especially vigorous, blooms in late spring, and grows 2½ to 3 feet tall and wide.
Fragrant, white semidouble blooms open to show off their deep lavender-pink markings around yellow centers.
This peony variety is especially vigorous, producing up to 50 blooms in a season (starting in late spring), once established. It grows to 2½ feet tall and 3½ feet wide.
Just look at this. LOOK AT IT. Copper orange semidouble blooms occasionally streaked with yellow are head-turners, especially as they open to reveal deep-throated copper centers.
Surround ‘Kopper Kettle’ with sky blue forget-me-nots for a refreshing warm-cool contrast, or grow it in a cluster of three with a Tuscan terra-cotta olive jar as an accent.
This vigorous peony variety blooms in late spring and grows about 2½ feet tall and 3½ feet wide.
This peony variety is a burst of laughter for the garden. Large, bright canary yellow blooms stand out against lush, dark green foliage on this vigorous plant. Try it behind lime green heuchera; it blooms in late spring and grows 3 to 3 1/2 feet tall and wide.
With ruffled red petals around a yellow center, these single blooms resemble fluffy bowls atop erect stems on a 2-foot-tall and 2 1/2-foot-wide plant.
Grow it behind spring bulbs or as an accent in perennial borders (blue-flowered Campanula glomerata makes a pretty companion). Bloom time is mid- to late spring.
Bowl-shaped, fuchsia-pink blooms have tufts of creamy white petals in the center; the fragrant flowers start opening in midspring on plants 1 1/2 to 2 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide.
Yes, you’ll go bananas for these huge, deep yellow semidouble blooms with a slightly spicy scent.
They're eye-catching in beds of blue and white flowers, with a spritz of lime foliage. The plant blooms in spring and grows 2 to 2½ feet tall and wide.
A semidouble variety with velvety, carmine blooms atop sturdy stems, this stunner makes a showy cut flower. It grows 1 1/2 to 2 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide.
Huge, pure white double flowers with vivid crimson flecks make a showy bouquet in a white ceramic vase. They’re heady-fragrant too. The plant grows to 3 feet tall and wide and blooms in mid- to late spring. It’s one of the best for mild coastal climates, but it can’t take inland heat.
Ruffled, red double blooms look like fluffy petticoats in full swing. You’ll want to really show them off―in white ceramic vases in an all-white living room, perhaps? Plants bloom in mid- to late spring and grow 1 1/2 to 2 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide.
Fragrant single blooms have satiny white petals around big yellow centers. Plant this variety behind drifts of yellow Darwin hybrid tulips and blue-flowered grape hyacinth (Muscari). It’s a fast grower to 3 feet tall and wide.
This peony variety is a dandy indeed. The lavender-pink semidouble blooms of this new-to-market hybrid are nothing to sneeze at: They measure up to 6 inches across atop strong stems.
As they mature, the petals slowly fade to soft pink. The compact, mounding plant grows 2 to 2½ feet tall and wide.
Huge double blooms of rich carmine red top bold stems; the blooms, which start appearing in mid- to late spring, are striking in bouquets (try them with clusters of blue-flowered forget-me-nots). The plant grows 1 1/2 to 2 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide.
This peony variety looks like a frosty scoop of raspberry sherbet floating in a mug of peach soda. Luscious pink double flowers with cream tones really do look like their namesake; play up their ice cream colors by surrounding them with companions such as Nemesia caerulea ‘Compact Innocence’ (white flowers) or ‘Compact Pink’. ‘
Raspberry Sundae’ blooms in midspring and grows to 2 1/2 feet tall and wide.
Large double blooms up to 8 inches across are clear yellow with a light fragrance; they stand up above compact mounds of dark green foliage, 2 to 2 1/2 feet tall and wide. This newcomer blooms in midspring.
Soft lavender-pink double flowers are lightly fragrant; they bloom in mid- to late-spring on plants 2 1/2 feet tall and 1 to 2 feet wide. Surround them with sky blue forget-me-nots for a fresh spring look.
Tufted pink centers crown these double flowers, great for cutting. The plant blooms in mid- to late spring and grows to 2 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide.
We can resist the ruffled, deep merlot-red flowers with full peaked centers and a sweet-spicy fragrance.
Shell pink blossoms with large orange centers are very fragrant. And the graceful plant rarely needs staking―it’s a good choice for beds and borders.
Bloom time is mid-spring; the plant grows 2 1/2 to 3 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide.
More: For information on where to buy and how to grow peonies in your climate, see Sunset's Planting peonies guide .
Huge double blooms, with layers of pink and cream petals, remind us of cool sorbet. The plant blooms in mid- to late spring and grows about 2 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide.
Fall for 'La Lorraine' with its creamy white blooms and with touches of pink and yellow throughout.
Huge, pink double blooms resemble old-fashioned roses; they’re fragrant too. Sturdy, erect stems make them great for cutting, or leave the blooms on the plant as pretty backdrops for spring bulbs.
This variety blooms in mid-spring and grows 2 1/2 to 3 feet tall and wide.
This deep pink beauty is late-season bloomer, boasting boasts double flowers with silver-tipped petals, and a sweet fragrance.
What's in this peony's bag of tricks? Grow ‘Felix Supreme’ for its large double ruby red or crimson flowers.
We love this magnificently large, pure white, full double-bloomed peony. We also love its fragrance.
Fully double flowers are chocked full of deep pink petals.
Grows to 3’ or just a few inches taller.
This peony variety will have you sailing the Good Ship Lollipop. Gorgeous double blooms with hints of rose will have you swooning through ‘Shirley Temple’s bloom season.
This classic variety is an old world cultivar, winning awards since 1888 for its light rose-pink petals and sweet fragrance.
Not every peony needs to be a double. Check out this single-form peony with six-inch-wide flowers with bright yellow centers. Yes, please!

How to Plant, Grow, and Care for Peony Flowers

The peony is outrageously beautiful in bloom with the fattest, most scrumptious flowers and lush green foliage. Enjoy breathtaking flowers from spring to summer. See how to plant, grow, and care for peonies.
Peonies are perennials that come back every year to take your breath away. In fact, the plants may live longer than you do—some have been known to thrive for at least 100 years.
Peonies bloom from late spring through early summer , depending on your location and the variety of peony you’re growing.
Many nurseries offer early , midseason , and late blooming varieties , making it possible for you to stretch out the peony season over many weeks and enjoy those lovely blooms for as long as possible!
Peonies are hardy to Zone 3 and grow well as far south as Zones 7 and 8. In most of the U.S., the rules for success are simple: provide full sun and well-drained soil. Peonies even relish cold winters, because they need chilling for bud formation.
There are six peony flower types to choose from: anemone , single , Japanese , semi-double , double , and bomb . Fragrances vary as well—some plants such as ‘Festiva Maxima’ and ‘Duchesse de Nemours’ have intoxicating rose-like scents while others are lemony or have no scent at all.
Peonies make fine sentinels lining walkways or a lovely low hedge. After its stunning bloom, the peony’s bushy clump of handsome glossy green leaves lasts all summer, and then turns purplish-red or gold in the fall, as stately and dignified as any flowering shrub.
In mixed borders, peonies bloom with columbines, baptisias, and veronicas , and combine well with irises and roses . Plant white peonies with yellow irises and a froth of forget-me-nots; set off pink peonies with blue Nepeta or violets.
Peonies are not too fussy, but choose your location wisely, as they resent disturbance and do not transplant well.
Peonies like full sun, and though they can manage with half a day, they bloom best in a sunny spot that gets 6 to 8 hours of sunlight each day.
Provide shelter from strong winds, as peonies’ large blooms can make them top heavy. (Use stakes to hold them up, if necessary.) Don’t plant too close to trees or shrubs, as peonies don’t like to compete for food, light, and moisture.
Grow peonies in deep, fertile, humus-rich, moist soil that drains well. Soil pH should be neutral.
Peony plants require little maintenance as long as they are planted properly and establish themselves. Note, however, that they do not respond well to transplanting, so you should plan your planting site accordingly.
Like children, young peonies take time to develop. They usually need a few years to establish themselves, bloom, and grow. And soon enough, they venture out on their own, mature and well-adjusted… Wait, no, that’s just children.
Peonies thrive on benign neglect. Unlike most perennials, they don’t need to be dug and divided every few years.
Peonies bloom between late spring and early summer, but you can plan your garden for a successive display of flowers from mid-May to late June by planting a selection of varieties. Here are some choices:
Peonies make wonderful cut flowers, lasting more than a week in a vase. For best results, cut long stems in the morning when the buds are still fairly tight.
You can wrap freshly cut peony stems in damp paper towel and put them in a plastic bag in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use them. When removing the peonies from the refrigerator give the stems a fresh cut and place them in lukewarm water to wake them up.
Had I but four square feet of ground at my disposal, I would plant a peony in the corner and proceed to worship.
– Alice Harding, The Book of the Peony
Peonies are generally very hardy. Plus, peonies are also one of many deer-resistant plants you can grow in your garden.
Many gardeners wonder why so many ants crawl on the peony buds . Don’t worry! They are just eating the peony’s nectar in exchange for attacking bud-eating pests. They are attracted to the sugary droplets on the outside of flower buds or to the honeydew produced by scale insects and aphids. Never spray the ants; they’re helping you by keeping your peonies safe!

My peony seems to have died, it used to grow and bloom from several stalks 3 years ago. Last year only one stalk grew. This year one started, and then failed, and now it hasn't grown at all. I now suspect it's because I planted Purple Bergania I was given on either side of it, but they were at least 2.5 feet away. Those are thriving.
Can I revive my peony? Or is it a lost cause?
Will the plant continue to bloom if old flowers are removed?
In reply to Will the plant continue to… by Kathy Reislin (not verified)
Yes. Deadhead peony blossoms as soon as they begin to fade, cutting to a strong leaf so that the stem doesn’t stick out of the foliage. Each individual bloom lasts around 7-10 days, and each plant will give multiple blooms!
When I bought this house 10 yrs ago, there was a peony in the garden, growing in the grass .. it was covering up a plastic pipe (that is over the septic diversion control.) It seems very healthy .. but has not grown much at all.... it is still a rounded bush about 2 ft or so. It blooms every year .. lovely fuchsia-colored dense/double flowers. But only produces 3 or 4 blooms. Is there something I need to do to encourage this beautiful shrub to grow a bit more and produce more flowers? If they do not like to be moved, should I consider digging up the grass around it and make a small bed for this beautiful but sparsely flowering fuchsia? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.
I have a large mature peony. Can I dig a piece of it up and transplant it?
