Peony Itoh Pastel Splendor

A cross between herbaceous garden peonies and woody tree peonies. Plant forms a sturdy clump of foliage 25-30” tall and wide that looks great spring through fall. Strong stems hold flowers upright even after heavy rain. This peony offers creamy, lavender pink petals with reddish purple flares in the center. They give off a light fragrance and make excellent cut flowers. Not particular about soil.  Grow in full sun or light shade for best flower production. Mulch to keep roots cool and moist. Do not over fertilize. Leaf spots can be a problem if plants have too much nitrogen. Deer and rabbit resistant.

Zone 4-8.
