Peony

One of the longest-lived perennials

Exceptionally long-lived, Peonies are one of the most well-known and well-loved of all perennials. Unappetizing to deer, rabbits, and insects, they burst forth with brilliant color for 3 months: reddish spring foliage, large late-spring and early-summer blooms, and bronze or purple fall tones. Equally suited for garden or vase, Peonies offer old-fashioned charm that can last for generations.
