Order: Saxifragales
Family: Paeoniaceae
Genus: Paeonia
Species: Paeonia suffruticosa<\/p>\n

The tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa, Korean: \ubaa8\ub780, Moran) is a magnificent woody shrub celebrated for its lush, multi-petaled blossoms and elegant structure. Unlike the herbaceous peony (Paeonia lactiflora, \uc791\uc57d, Jakyak), which dies back each winter, the tree peony grows on sturdy woody stems and produces even larger, more dramatic flowers. From April to May, it bursts into bloom with shades ranging from pure white to deep reddish-purple, filling gardens with color and subtle fragrance. By late summer, its fruit splits open to reveal small, round black seeds.<\/p>\n

In South Korea, the tree peony is more than just a beautiful flower\u2014it carries deep cultural symbolism. For centuries it has represented wealth, honor, prosperity, and refined beauty, appearing in traditional art, poetry, and palace decorations. A notable example is its frequent appearance in the folk paintings known as minwha (\ubbfc\ud654), where it is used as an auspicious ornamental motif. Though admired throughout the country, tree peonies remain a cherished sight in spring, when their short but spectacular blooming season draws admirers from near and far.<\/p>\n
