Paeonia Itoh Takara Peony
The Takara (Treasure) Itoh Peony is an exquisite herbaceous perennial known for its large, nearly 6-inch blooms that showcase an ever-changing blend of colors. Initially displaying light yellow petals heavily flushed with deep lavender-pink, the flowers gradually fade to pale white, revealing a striking dark burgundy flare at the center. Hybridized by leading breeder Don Smith, this peony offers significant landscape appeal. It reaches a mature height and spread of 30 inches, making it versatile for various garden settings. Care involves providing enriched, well-drained, moist soil and removing spent blooms, followed by cutting back the foliage in the fall.
