Peony
Peony is a two-block-tall pink flower from Minecraft forests that you can multiply with bone meal for an endless supply of Pink Dye.
Description
Players use Peony both as a renewable decoration and as a source of Pink Dye. One Peony placed on a crafting grid yields two Pink Dye, the same ratio in both Java and Bedrock. Bone meal applied directly to a placed Peony drops a duplicate flower, the core mechanic behind a renewable flower farm. Bees pollinate Peony and raise the honey level of nearby beehives and bee nests by 1, while a sapling grown within 2 blocks has a 5% chance to spawn with a bee nest and 2 to 3 bees. Peony is flammable with Java flammability 60 and Bedrock flammability 30, so lava and fire can wipe out a flower bed. For a layered pink garden, pair Peony with Rose Bush and Lilac to build a tall flower hedge.

Guide
How to find and multiply Peony in Minecraft
-
1
Locate a forest biome
Peony spawns naturally in forests, flower forests, birch forests, old growth birch forests, and dark forests, so explore those biomes until pink tall bushes appear.
-
2
Break the bottom half
Hit the lower block of the two-block-tall Peony to drop both halves at once, because breaking only the top half destroys the flower without a drop.
-
3
Replant one Peony
Place the collected Peony on grass or dirt, leaving one free block of air above for the upper half to form.
-
4
Apply bone meal to duplicate
Use bone meal on the placed Peony to drop a fresh copy of the flower, which is the renewable mechanic that powers Peony farms.
-
5
Craft Pink Dye from surplus
Drop any spare Peony onto a crafting grid to convert one flower into two Pink Dye in both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition.
Peony is flammable with Java flammability 60 and Bedrock flammability 30, so keep lava and fire sources away from a Peony flower bed to avoid losing the whole farm.
