Although there are many cultivated varieties of peony, we deal mainly with the pure species. These have single flowers, mainly red or pink, perhaps with white varieties, but there are also fabulous ones with pale yellow flowers. They are all herbaceous, and it is a delight to see the dark red noses of the new stems pushing through the ground in late winter, two or three where there was one the previous year, and soon a great clump of them.
Paeonia lactiflora var. trichocarpa is a particularly fine peony, with large (up to 13 cm in diameter) pure white (sometimes red or pink in cultivated stock) cup or bowl-shaped flowers, usually with several on each flowering stem.
