This herb is admired for its large and striking flowers, which can be white, pink, red or even bicoloured. In the world of ornamental horticulture, it is cultivated for its beauty and flowering in late spring and early summer. The Chinese peony is also valued for its excellent honey-producing potential.
But the Chinese peony is not just an ornamental flower, it is also an important ingredient in some products. In traditional Chinese medicine in particular, it has long been used for its medicinal properties and is included in various herbal mixtures and preparations. In particular, the root of the Chinese peony is used to treat a number of health problems such as skin diseases, menstrual pains or migraines. Peony root extract is also used in the cosmetics industry, for example in product lines for skin creams, serums or masks, due to its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. Chinese peony has also found its way into perfumery, where its scent gives products a fresh and floral touch.
