Description:
Paeonia lactiflora is a classic Asian peony species, serving as the ancestor of many modern hybrids. It is native to regions of China, Korea, Mongolia, and Russia, thriving at elevations between 1,000 and 7,000 feet. This herbaceous perennial is known for its fragrant, cup-shaped flowers that bloom in late spring, featuring colors from white to pink and crimson, with a central cluster of yellow stamens. The plant attracts butterflies and is well-suited to dry, open slopes and woodland edges. Cultivated since the 7th century in China, it has become a staple in ornamental gardening.
