Hybrid peonies are the other type of herbaceous peony and are the result of crossing species peonies. Unlike lactiflora peonies, which all have similar mid-green leaves, the foliage of hybrid peonies varies from shiny to dull green, and the leaf shape from round-ended to deeply divided. Their flower colour is also different and can range from white and pale- to very bright pink, shades of apricot or true red. Many also bloom earlier than lactiflora types, from late April onwards.
