#Paeonia × suffruticosa is a name used for a group of tree peony cultivars resulting from hybridization with species exclusively belonging to the subsection Vaginatae. The common name used in China is Mudan (Chinese: 牡丹).
Plants belonging to this group have been cultivated for thousands of years in China, initially only as a source for traditional Chinese medicine, especially their root bark (mǔdān pí).
Indeed, early on, the plant was also cultivated for its ornamental value, and it is highly respected in Chinese culture.
