 Companion Plants


We like to think about gardening in terms of how things relate to peonies - we are a peony company after-all.

Below is a slideshow of the bloom progression, including some of our favorite companion plants.


We categorize companion plants as those that grow:

  • Under Peonies

  • Side-by-Side with Peonies

  • Over Peonies

In addition, we like to consider when plants bloom:

  • Before Peonies

  • With Peonies

  • After Peonies

Grow Under Peonies

You will need to clear out the area around your peonies and make sure they still can come up through your ground cover.
