Peonies- One of the flowers Sydney people most commonly ask for.

It's october and Sydney Peonie season is almost upon us again, but be quick, if you blink you may miss out! Peonies are definately one of the most popular flowers Sydney folk enjoy and are only usually available in Sydney for a few short weeks each year.

Peonies were named in honour of Paeon, the Physician Of The Gods. They are commmonly called "The Queen Of Flowers" and it's easy to see why. It is hard to think of a more glamorous flower. The Peonie is the national flower of the Chinese and are one of the most values flowers on earth.

Peonies are a cold climate herbaceous perenial which means that they die down during the cold Winter months and re-appear each spring. They are not suited to Sydney gardens because of the intense Summer humidity and because they depend on a very cold Winter to encourage flowering in the spring.

Peonie come in a range of colours but most commonly as cut flowers are in Pink, White and coral colour.
