Picture this: a lush, billowy bloom with layers upon layers of delicate petals in shades ranging from soft pastels to vibrant hues. That's the beauty of peony flowers! Native to Asia, Europe, and North America, peonies belong to the genus Paeonia and are revered for their opulent appearance and heavenly fragrance.

Peonies come in three main varieties: herbaceous, tree, and intersectional. Herbaceous peonies are the most common type, known for their bushy growth habit and abundant blooms. Tree peonies, on the other hand, feature woody stems and large, showy flowers. Intersectional peonies, also known as Itoh peonies, are a hybrid of herbaceous and tree peonies, combining the best of both worlds.

When it comes to peonies, variety is the spice of life! From classic single blooms to extravagant double-flowered varieties, there's a peony for every taste and occasion. Here are some popular types of peony flowers:
