For the ancient Balkan region and tribe, see
Paionia. The peony or paeony (Paeonia) is the sole genus in the
flowering plant family Paeoniaceae. They are native to
Asia, southern
Europe and western
North America. Most are herbaceous perennial plants 0.5–1.5 metres tall, but some are woody shrubs up to 1.5–3 metres tall. They have compound, deeply lobed leaves, and large, often fragrant flowers, ranging from red to white or yellow, in late spring and early summer. In the past, the peonies were often classified in the family
Ranunculaceae, alongside
Hellebores and
Anemones
