Definition
A paeony (often spelled peony) is a gorgeous flowering plant celebrated for its large, showy blooms. Think of it as the drama queen of the flower patch, always ready to make a statement. These flowers come in various colors, including pink, red, white, and yellow. Paeonies can be either herbaceous perennials, which means they die back in winter and regrow in spring, or shrubs with woody stems. They're popular in gardens and floral arrangements because of their beauty and sweet fragrance. They're native to Asia, Europe and Western North America.
