Delight in single to semi double, vivid fuchsia-purple blooms early in the peony season. Striking blooms cover the tops and sides of this compact plant. A cross between herbaceous and tree peonies, Itoh peonies have a dense, rounded form, a great abundance of 7-9" flowers and a bloom season that lasts up to six weeks. Grows 25-30" tall with a 36" spread. Deer tend to avoid. Paeonia Itoh 'Morning Lilac'
Peonies have few requirements: give them a sunny well-drained location, plant 2-4' apart, with the eyes (new buds at the crown) no more than 2" below soil level and apply fertilizer or compost in spring. They take a while to establish, often 3 years before the first bloom—but the wait is worth it. They are heirloom quality. Let them grow undisturbed and they will bring joy to you and your loved ones through the decades.
