Luoyang, an ancient city in central China’s Henan Province with a history spanning over a millennium, has long been synonymous with the peony. This deep-rooted connection has earned it the prestigious title of the “Peony Capital of China.” Among the many places to admire this beloved flower, the National Peony Garden stands out as a premier destination. As the only flower garden in China given official national status, it serves as a vital gene bank for peonies, preserving their rich diversity.
Divided into northern and southern sections, the garden is home to hundreds of thousands of peony plants. These include both indigenous Chinese varieties and rare imports from Japan, the United States, and France. Renowned for their lush petals, striking colors, and intoxicating fragrance, the peonies here offer a truly mesmerizing spectacle. In an ongoing effort to innovate, the garden grafted 300 mature peony plants last year, creating breathtaking “mosaic peonies” with multi-colored blooms to further enrich the visual experience.
