AB  - Enlarging the planting area of economic plants, such as the "Southward Planting 
      of Herbaceous Peony" (Paeonia lactiflora. Pall), is significant for improving 
      people's lives. Peony is globally known as an ornamental because of gorgeous 
      flowers and is mainly cultivated in the temperate regions with relatively cool 
      and dry climates in the Northern Hemisphere. Promoting the landscape application 
      of peony to the lower latitude regions is difficult because of the hot-humid 
      climate. In this study, 29 northern peony cultivars and a unique Chinese southern 
      peony, 'Hang Baishao', were introduced to Hangzhou, located in the central 
      subtropics. Annual growth cycles, resistances and dormancy durations were 
      measured, and crossbreeding between the southern and northern peonies was 
      performed for six years, from 2012 to 2017. Based on data collected from the 
      long-running quantitative observation (LQO), a multi-criteria decision making 
      (MCDM) system was established to evaluate the comprehensive planting performance 
      of these 30 cultivars in the central subtropics. 'Qihua Lushuang', 'Hang Baishao' 
      and 'Meiju' were highly recommended, while 'Zhuguang' and 'Qiaoling' were 
      scarcely recommended for the Hangzhou landscape. This study highlights the 
      dependability and comprehensiveness of integrating the LQO and MCDM approaches 
      for evaluating the introduction performance of ornamental plants.
