Peonies pair beautifully with a variety of plants, enhancing their lush blooms. Consider combining them with delphiniums for height and vibrant color, or with astilbes for a softer, feathery texture. Ornamental grasses, like feather reed grass, add movement and contrast, while companion plants such as roses or lavender can create a fragrant and visually appealing garden. Foliage plants, like hostas or ferns, can also provide a rich backdrop for peonies.
