Description White peony is a stout, herbaceous erect, perennial flowering plant that grows about 50-70 cm (20-28 in) tall and broad with thickened (1.3 cm diameter), tuberous root and glabrous branched stems. The plant is thrives best in a deep rich, well-drained and moist soil, preferably neutral or slightly alkaline in full sun or partial shade. It is lime tolerant. Plants grown on sandy soils are reported to produce more foliage and fewer flowers, while those growing on clayey soils take longer to become established but produce better blooms. The plant is classified as a late-blooming species, featuring flowers in mid- to late spring and continuing attractive foliage throughout the summer and early fall. Stems die to the ground after frost. It has been grown in China since the 7th century for appreciation of its ornamental flowers. It was introduced into North America in the 1800 s. Leaves Leaves are alternate, basal leaves are biternate. All leaflets are decurrent at base, terminal leaflets are 2 or 3 segmented, leaflets and segments up to 15, oblong-elliptic, oblique- ovate to lanceolate, 4.5-16 cm long and 1.5-4.8 cm wide, pilose beneath, margins rough-scabrous. Leaves may turn rusty orange in fall. Flower Flower buds appear in late spring (May in the Northern Hemisphere). They are large and round, opening into fragrant, cup- or bowl-shaped flowers 8-16 cm (3-6 in) in diameter, with 5-10 white, pink, or crimson petals and yellow stamens. Sepals are 3 or 4, broadly ovate or sub orbicular, 1-1.5 cm long and 1-1.7 cm wide. Petals are 9-13, white, red or pink (in wild plants), or varying in color (in cultivated plants), obovate, 3.56 cm long and 1.5-4.5 cm wide. Stamens are numerous, with yellow filaments and anthers. Pink or crimson petals typically feature a visible center boss of yellow stamens. Some double-flowered cultivars are available. Flowers of most cultivars are fragrant. Fruits Fertile flowers are followed by horizontally spreading oblong-ellipsoid, follicles that split open at maturity. They are about 2.53 cm long and 1.21.5 cm wide. Health Benefits 1.
