Peonies are beautiful, some are fragrant, they last a very long time (50 years!), they come in different forms (tree, bush etc), have an amazing range of colours, most are an exceptionally hardy zone 2, they make a wonderful cut flower because they can be harvested and made to bloom at a certain time, and they are basically easy care plants with very few problems.
