PEONY
Peony, genus Paeonia, is the common name for about 33 species of perennial flowering plants in the peony family, Paeoniaceae. The large, showy flowers range from white through pink and red to the darkest purple, plus a few yellow types. The hardy plants also have decorative foliage. Two classes of peonies exist: the herbaceous types are derived from P. lactiflora, and the tree peonies are forms of P. suffruticosa. Peonies thrive in any soil, particularly a fertile loam. They are native to north temperate Eurasia and western North America.
