Peonies have been cultivated in China since about 900 B.C. The white
peony is one of the oldest remedies in traditional Chinese medicine. They are
a very beautiful and fragrant ornamental flower, but the root is the part valued
in Chinese medicine to treat conditions such as abnormal menses, night sweats, abdominal pain, sores
and injuries.1

The common garden peony is one of the most widely grown perennials throughout the Northern hemisphere. Peonies are generally planted
in the fall, but they may also be available in spring as potted plants. For those herbaceous peonies obtained in the fall,
be sure the tuber has three to five buds or "eyes" present. They will be bright red in color. Tree peonies are grown
either from seed or grafts, with the more desirable way for the home gardener being grafted plants. Herbaceous
peonies with three to five "eyes" will generally flower the second year after planting, while it will take three years for a
grafted tree peony.
