HYBRID
Peonies resulting from the crossbreeding of two or more distinct peony species or varieties are known as hybrid peonies. Plant breeders have created hybrid peonies for many years, and their roots can be traced to ancient China. Peonies were cultivated in China for thousands of years and were highly regarded for their medicinal properties and aesthetic appeal.
During the 19th and 20th centuries, European and American botanists and horticulturists developed an interest in peonies and began interbreeding different varieties to produce new and distinct hybrids. Victor Lemoine, a Frenchman, was one of the most renowned peony breeders, having created numerous popular hybrids in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
In the middle of the 20th century, Japanese plant breeders began to cultivate their own hybrid peonies, including the popular “Shimadaijin” tree peony variety. Gardeners and flower enthusiasts continue to appreciate hybrid peonies for their attractiveness and fragrance.
