"The herbaceous peony (Paeonia lactiflora) is one of the most beloved flowering perennials, renowned for its large, fragrant blooms and long lifespan. Native to China, Siberia, and Mongolia, peonies have been cultivated for centuries and are often associated with prosperity, romance, and good fortune. They are deer-resistant, easy to grow, and capable of thriving for decades with minimal care. Peonies bloom in late spring to early summer, producing flowers in a range of colors including white, pink, red, coral, and even yellow. Their luxurious petals and rich fragrance make them a popular choice for gardens, floral arrangements, and wedding bouquets."
