Itoh peony is one of the popular ornamental plants, which represents an intermediate form between herbs and trees. The present study was aimed at developing a culture growing system for mass multiplication of Itoh peony cv. 'Julia Rose'. Axillary buds were cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium with 6-benzylaminopurine and indole-3-butyric acid for indirect somatic embryogenesis. Nodular callus was derived from the base of the axillary buds. Histological analysis was performed to elucidate the origin and development of somatic embryos.
