The Itoh peonies are a relatively new hybrid established in Japan in 1948 by Mr. Toichi Itoh.  Intersectional peonies (Itoh) are hybrids of the woody Tree Peonies and herbaceous Garden Peonies.

These peonies offer a long blooming season because of their ability to produce primary and secondary buds.  The shorter compact stems allow for mature plants to hold up to 30 flowers.

Varieties may include:

• Bartzella – Large, lemon-yellow flowers vary from double to semi-double, 6″ flowers, very fragrant
• Hillary – Large, double to semi-double pink blooms, fragrant
• Morning Lilac – Showy 9″ fuchsia flowers, long blooming
• Scarlet Heaven – Deep scarlet red flowers
