Where do peonies grow best?

Peonies grow best in regions with cold winters and warm summers, as they need a period of winter chill to bloom properly. They thrive in well-draining, nutrient-rich soil and prefer full sun or light shade. Peonies can grow in many parts of the world with the right conditions. A location sheltered from strong winds is ideal to protect their delicate blooms. With proper care and the right environment, peonies can produce stunning flowers year after year.
