Story of Our Name
Peony flower is named after the most ancient Greek god of healing, Paeon, who was known as the "physician of the gods". He was said to have used this plant for medicine. The root of this plant is frequently utilized in traditional Chinese medicine and is often prescribed for gynecological conditions.
In bloom, the peony is a large abundant and very beautiful flower, inviting butterflies to gardens, thus attracting more life to them. Color red is regarded as a vital life giving color. In eight century China, the red peony was considered the King of Flowers, symbolizing abundance. Peonies can live for over hundred years if undisturbed.
