Paeonia

Peony

Peonies are familiar to most gardeners, but many don't know that there are beautiful peonies for the woodland garden also.

These Japanese peonies offer a refreshing contrast to hostas, ferns, and other more familiar shade plants. They also have attractive fruit clusters after the flowers are gone. Rodents and deer generally do not touch peonies.

• They require light to medium shade.
• They need well-drained soil to do well but are otherwise undemanding.
