Peonies not only produce a 
stately array of harmonizing colors at 
blooming-time, but continue to provide 
excellent foliage throughout the season. 
Peonies are most valuable as accent 
plants in the perennial border. If they 
are cut with medium-length stems 
before the buds open, they will keep 
for a week or ten days at a time.
