Paeonia algeriensis is a herbaceous perennial peony native to forest edges and woodland in the coastal mountains of northern Algeria (Kabylie), growing over half a metre tall with solitary pink to magenta flowers. It is a rare wild species rather than a common garden plant, so grow it as a hardy woodland perennial in cool, moist, well-drained conditions.
