Description
This is the first follow-up to the Garden Writer’s Guild Award-nominated Vintage Roses. This new title in Pavilion’s series of stylish floral gardening guides celebrates the beauty and versatility of the peony flower.
Peonies have always been a favourite with gardeners and cut-flower fans alike. In 2016, their popularity went beyond bridal bouquets as the blooms took over social media. Their influence was so significant that by May, Elle UK had already crowned the flowers as ‘The New Avocado’.
First outlining the history of the peony, Peonies is then split into chapters: Pure, Dramatic, Romantic, and Fragrant. It includes over 50 beautiful varieties, detailing when they bloom, their size, and, of course, what they'll look like. From Shawnee Chief to Sarah Bernhardt, you’ll discover an eclectic selection of specimens, from those with the best visual appearance to those with the most fragrant perfume. The final section, Growing and Care, outlines which varieties are easiest to grow and produce the best flowers for cutting.
With contemporary commentary on each bloom, easy-to-follow advice, and glorious photography, this book will appeal to everyone who appreciates the beauty of the majestic peony.
