They are native to [[Asia]], southern [[Europe]] and western [[North America]]. Boundaries between [[species]] are not clear and estimates of the number of species range from 25 <ref name="halda2004">Josef J. Halda and James W. Waddick. 2004. ''The genus Paeonia''. Timber Press: Oregon, USA.</ref> to 40.<ref name="tamura2007">Michio Tamura. 2007. "Paeoniaceae". pages 265-269. In: Klaus Kubitski (editor). ''The Families and Genera of Vascular Plants'' volume IX.

Most are [[Herbaceous plant|herbaceous]] [[perennial plant]]s 0.5–1.5 metres tall, but some resemble [[trees]] up to 1.5–3 metres tall. They have [[Leaf#Divisions of the lamina (blade)|compound]], deeply lobed leaves, and large, often fragrant flowers, ranging from red to white or yellow, in late spring and early summer.

This varies according to type, For instance Tree peonies are propagated by grafting but Herbaceous and Itoh peonies by root division. However new peonies are raised from seed.

The easiest and most satisfactory method of propagation is by division of the large, thick roots. The roots may be lifted and divided any time from the middle of August until the stalks appear again in the spring. The best time, however, is in early autumn, when the cut surfaces soon callus over and new rootlets form before the frost sets in. Choose a large stool, cut off the leaves and separate into as many divisions as can be made with an eye to each tuber. In digging, care should be taken that all of the tubers are dug up, for if not they may remain dormant a season and then produce a shoot, giving rise to the many stray plants frequently found in old beds. Tubers divided without an eye should also be planted, as they often act in a similar way and make a showing above ground in two years'time. Peonies, like most tuberous plants, when dormant stand considerable exposure and can be shipped long distances with safety.
