Some fun facts about Peonies.
In ancient China, they were highly esteemed and initially considered the national flower until the plum blossom took over the title.
Peonies can cause gastrointestinal upset for both people and animals, such as cats and dogs if consumed in large amounts.
Ants are actually helpful garden allies, not pests. The buds secrete a sweet nectar that attracts ants. In return, the ants protect the developing flowers from harmful insects that might damage them.
