Fragrance and Growth Cycle of Peonies

Peony bushes bloom for a brief period of two to three weeks during late spring or early summer, filling garden air with a sweet scent reminiscent of roses and citrus. The flowers can expand to impressive diameters of eight inches or more across depending on the cultivar. Once established, peony roots store energy underground through cold winters to send up robust foliage each spring.

Questions and Answers

How large can a fully open garden peony flower grow?
Depending on the specific variety, a fully open peony blossom can reach between five to ten inches in diameter, making it one of the largest garden flowers in temperate climates.
Why do peony plants require cold winter temperatures to bloom?
Peonies undergo a period of winter dormancy. Cold temperatures during dormancy are necessary to reset the plant's internal clock so it can produce strong flower buds in spring.
What gives peony foliage its distinct leaf pattern?
Peony leaves are divided into compound leaflets with smooth or lobed edges, allowing maximum sunlight absorption while helping rain slide off the leaf surfaces.
