First outlining the history of the peony, Peonies is then split into chapters Pure, Dramatic, Romantic and Fragrant, and includes over 50 beautiful varieties as well as detailing when they bloom, their size, and, of course, what they'll look like.

The final section, Growing and Care, outlines those varieties which are easiest to grow and which produce the best flowers for cutting.
