Tree Peony (Paeonia × suffruticosa) is a long-lived perennial shrub prized for its spectacular, oversized blooms and ornamental foliage. Its flowers, which can be single, semi-double, or fully double, appear in late spring in a wide spectrum of colors—from pure white and pale yellow to deep crimson and lavender—often with contrasting centers or subtle fragrance. The blooms are borne on woody stems above deeply divided, lush green leaves that provide texture throughout the growing season.

Originating from China through centuries of selective breeding, tree peonies hold great cultural significance, symbolizing honor, prosperity, and beauty in art and tradition. They thrive in sunny to partially shaded garden settings, often forming elegant focal points in borders or courtyards. Unlike herbaceous peonies, their woody framework remains above ground year-round, supporting their longevity. Tree peonies combine striking floral display, refined foliage, and historical prestige, making them one of the most admired ornamental plants in cultivated landscapes.
