There are three main types of yellow peonies and eventually each of these types will be included on this site. These three types can be grouped into two major categories, tree peonies and herbaceous peonies.  In the near term, this site will focus on the yellow herbaceous peonies which are the newest and most exciting of the yellow peonies.  In the future, pages devoted to the yellow tree peony hybrids will be added as well.  This is a new site as of July, 2002 and it will take some time for it to be completed, so please try to be patient.

 

Yellow herbaceous peonies are divided into two main groups, herbaceous hybrids and intersectional hybrids.  The herbaceous hybrids result from crosses between various species of  herbaceous peonies and are thus intrasectional hybrids.  The intersectional hybrids, on the other hand, are the result of crosses between tree peonies and herbaceous peonies.  As a result of their primarily herbaceous plant and growth habits, these new hybrids are usually grouped with the herbaceous peonies, although they are really a distinct group.  These hybrids are new, rare and very expensive.  In the near term, this site will concentrate on the  yellow intersectional hybrids. Pages on other yellow herbaceous peonies will be added at a later date.
