Lyon Botanical Garden owns an about 260 taxons rich collection. Its interest is such that the French Conservatory of Specialised Plants Collections has conferred the National Collection label on its botanical taxons and the Approved Collection label on its horticultural taxons.

Peonies (genus Paeonia, Paeoniaceae family) are found only in the North hemisphere. About 40 species are now registered, which can be found in China, Caucasus, and Mediterranean basin. Two species are from the West USA.
