In the D.C. metropolitan area righht now, peonies are blooming all around us, adding lush flowers and foilage all summer long. Peonies are perfect for lanscapes in our region because they reqire little maintenance, enjoy full sun, and relish cold winters because they need chilling for optimal bud formation. When planted and cared for properly peonies can live longer than you do—some have been known to thrive for 100 years.Their exquisite, large blossoms, often fragrant, make excellent cut flowers and the foliage provides a background for annuals or other perennials. Peonies grow from two to four feet in height and make fine low hedges and borders to walkways.
