Intersectional peonies are a cross between a herbaceous peony and a tree peony. Intersectionals take on the characteristics of both with strong woody stems and often beautify colorings on the flower. They die back to the ground in winter and resprout from underneath the ground forcing the stems to emerge the following spring. Intersectional peonies are mainly sterile, so crosses must be remade to recreate new plants. Typically, these are bush type plants more like a shrub with sidebuds that often extend the bloom time of these plants.

Some intersectionals available this year include:
