Brown’s peony

Brown's peony, also known as the western peony (Paeonia brownii), is an herbaceous perennial native to the western United States, ranging from California to Montana. It is cultivated elsewhere for its brownish-red flowers.12

Peonies, in general, belong to the genus Paeonia and are known for their large, showy blossoms. There are three main groups: herbaceous Eurasian peonies, Asian tree peonies, and North American peonies. Herbaceous peonies are perennials that produce large flowers in late spring and early summer in various colors, including white, pink, rose, and deep crimson. Tree peonies are shrubby plants with woody stems that bloom in late spring, with blossoms ranging from white to lilac, violet, and red.1
