It’s that time of year again where we have peonies in stock. Since it’s a very short season, it’s a good excuse to order these gorgeous flowers to decorate your home, add to your upcoming nuptials, or include in a flower arrangement that you are gifting to a special someone.=
All About Peonies
Peonies are long-life perennials that start to produce a magnificent display of single and double blooms in an array of colors – from white to deep red – in late spring and early summer, depending where you live in the U.S.
Peonies also have glossy, dark green leaves that shine all season long.
Peonies are a favorite in flower arrangements because their cut flowers can last more than a week if they are cut in full bud.
There are six main types of herbaceous peonies:
- Single: This peony has a single or double row of broad petals that encircle fertile stamens with carpels visible.
- Japanese: This peony has a single or double row of broad petals that encircle broadened staminodes that may carry pollen along the edges with carpels visible.
- Anemone: This peony also has a single or double row of broad petals that encircle narrow incurved petal-like staminodes while fertile stamens are absent but carpels visible.
- Semi-double: This peony has a single or double row of broad petals that encircle further broad petals that are intermingled with stamens.
- Bomb: This peony has a single row of broad petals that encircle a shorter dense area of narrower petals.
- Double: This peony has a flower that only consists of many broad petals, including those that are altered stamens and carpels.
