Peonia Erbacea

Herbaceous hybrids

Herbaceous peonies, which were already described in Greek mythology, have been used in gardens for centuries. In Europe many varieties exist in the wild; some them, having been crossed among them and with Chinese species, originated countless hybrids with unusual and spectacular color.
