Paeonia 'T'ing Red' (Ch'ing Province Red')

type: [tree peony] – [suffruticosa group] – [China central plains cultivar group]

Ouyang Xiu (1034) Records of Luoyang Peony

The T'ING RED has single petals and deep red flowers. It comes from Ch'ing province, and is also called CH'ING PROVINCE RED. In the past the p'u-yeh officer Chang Ch'i-hsien had a residence in the Hsien-hsiang (worthy ministers) district of the Western Capital (Loyang). He transported this species by camel-back from Ch'ing province. Thereafter it spread throughout the Lo area. Its color is like the stiff t'ing waistband and so it is called the T'ING RED.
