Peony has ten colors: white, yellow, pink, red, purple, deep purple, snow blue, green and compound color. Male and female pistils often have petal-like phenomena. The so-called petal-like phenomenon is a phenomenon that the stigma and filaments become longer and wider due to complex changes caused by a special environment. The natural growth of petals and the degree of male and female petals are related to varieties, cultivation environmental conditions and growth years. Normal peony flowers have many stamens, strong seed setting ability and high seed maturity. Flowers with petal-shaped pistils, few seeds but no seeds, completely free stamens, 5 carpels, at least 8 carpels, each ovary bottle-shaped, marginal placentation, most ovules, 5 horns, 7- 13 per horn, and round seeds.

Peony is a warm, dry and sunny environment, but peony, as a national flower, has strong cold resistance and drought resistance, but Bian Xiao only stresses drought resistance, and direct sunlight on peony is not good.
