Since its introduction abroad, a few unique cultivar groups have been bred in France, Britain, the United States, and some other countries. Currently there are about 600 Chinese tree peony cultivars. Ĭultivated hybrid tree peonies originate from China and its surrounding areas, possessing significant cultural meaning throughout Chinese history. Some of the early Itoh cultivars are ‘Yellow Crown’, ‘Yellow Dream’, ‘Yellow Emperor’ and ‘Yellow Heaven’. These are herbaceous, have leaves like tree peonies, with many large flowers from late spring to early summer, and good peony wilt resistance. lactiflora ‘Katoden’, which resulted in a new category of peonies, the Itoh or intersectional cultivars. In 1948 horticultulturist Toichi Itoh from Tokyo used pollen from ‘Alice Harding’ to fertilize the herbaceous P. × lemoinei cultivar ‘High Noon’ has gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit. These hybrids are known as the Paeonia × lemoinei group, and include double-flowered ‘Chromatella’ (1928), ‘Alice Harding’ (1935) and semidouble-flowered ‘Sang Lorraine’ (1939). × suffruticosa cultivars by Victor Lemoine in Nancy has led to the introduction of the color yellow into the cultivated double-flowered tree-peonies.

Paeonia decomposita is the only species from the Vaginatae that has not contributed to these cultivars. In the nuclear DNA however, homology with Paeonia rockii is largest, with lesser contributions from P. ostii and partially from Paeonia rotundiloba.
Almost all of the remaining cultivars has chloroplast DNA identical to that in P. In over three quarters of the almost fifty studied cultivars, the DNA of their chloroplasts is identical to that in Paeonia cathayana, indicating that this species is the original maternal parent. Genetic analysis has shown that five species of the subsection Vaginatae together make up the parentage of the tree peony cultivars created before World War II. Paeonia × suffruticosa is the name used for most tree peony cultivars, but is not a naturally occurring species, so it can be regarded as the name for a man-made hybrid swarm. Already early on the plant was also cultivated for its ornamental value, and it is highly revered in Chinese culture.
#PAEONIA SUFFRUTICOSA PURPLE SKIN#
Plants belonging to this group have been cultivated for millennia in China, initially only as a source of traditional Chinese medicine particularly the skin of its roots ( 牡丹皮 mǔdān pí). The common name used in China is mǔdān ( Chinese: 牡丹). Paeonia × suffruticosa is a name used for a group of cultivars of tree peonies that are the result of hybridisation with species exclusively belonging to the subsection Vaginatae.
