May is synonymous with the short but glorious flowering season for peonies, those popular flowers that are so dramatic when displayed in a vase. Peonies tend to be visible from late April until early June, but May is when they truly come into their own, flourishing magnificently. Among the varieties of this dynamic species of flower there are herbaceous peonies, tree peonies and even the enormously flowered hybrids of the two; all, if treated well from the outset, will continue to flower for more than half a century.
