Peony Companions

Peonies can be planted individually or in large clumps, and their beautiful blossoms intermixed with other companion plants create an amazing show in springtime. Some of our favorite garden combinations include herbaceous Peonies blooming in sequence with Roses, Baptisia, Nepeta and Iris. For a pre-show, flowering bulbs such as Tulips, Daffodils and Scilla siberica can be planted to intermix with the emerging reddish Peony stems in early spring. And for an after-show, when the blooms have finished, the handsome Peony foliage will serve as a glossy deep green backdrop for the next sequence of bloom in the garden.
