Paeonia

Paeonia is a genus of herbaceous perennials and shrubs that belongs to the family Paeoniaceae. They are commonly known as "peonies" and are prized for their large, showy, fragrant flowers and attractive foliage. Paeonia plants are native to Asia, Europe, and North America, and are now grown in many other parts of the world as ornamental plants.

Paeonia plants have upright stems that can reach up to three feet in height. The flowers are typically pink, red, white, or yellow, and have many petals that give them a lush, full appearance. The foliage of Paeonia plants is often green and can be quite ornamental, with lobed or dissected leaves.
