Peonies: A Little Book of Flowers

$14.95

This fascinating celebration of the peony reads like a “very smart love letter to cultivating beauty” and features 40+ vintage-inspired full-color botanical illustrations (Seattle Times).

Peonies are queens of the spring garden, a romantic flower long popular in bridal bouquets (symbolizing prosperity and a happy marriage). In bloom for only a few weeks, they have passionate fans who love them despite—or perhaps because of—their short season. They can live to be 100 years, and are one of the easiest flowers to grow, with many different shapes and colors available, and a delicate scent.

This charming little hardcover book includes:

60+ full-color botanical illustrations
basic botany and history
everything you need to know to grow gorgeous blooms in the garden
tips for creating beautiful arrangements and preserving flowers
quotes, lore, and notable gardens and growers
