About this subject

Peonies (Paeonia) are perennial flowers known for their voluminous petals and sweet fragrance. The "lush pink" variety features dense layers of light pink petals forming a perfect sphere. Native to Asia, Europe, and western North America, peonies have been cultivated for over 2,000 years, initially in China for medicinal purposes.

In Japan, the peony is called the "king of flowers" and symbolizes wealth and honor. In Western culture, especially at weddings, the pink peony represents romance and good fortune. They bloom in late spring, usually from May to June, with each flower lasting about 7 to 10 days.

Peonies require fertile, well-drained soil and full sun. They are cold-hardy but do not tolerate intense heat. There are two main types: herbaceous, which die back in winter, and tree peonies with woody stems. The "lush pink" flower is typically a hybrid herbaceous peony variety, with double blooms that can reach up to 8 inches in diameter.
