'Takara (Treasure)' Itoh Peony

Description

Large flowers up to six inches across provide an unusual and exquisite ever-changing blend of colors. When opening, blooms appear mostly pink, but are actually light yellow heavily flushed with deep lavender pink. As flowers mature, the pink and yellow fades to pale white, with a large dark burgundy flare in the center. Blooms appear early May through end of June. Finely cut dark green foliage and a rounded form make this an excellent landscape plant. Hybridized by Don Smith, a leading Itoh Peony breeder.

Takara means 'Treasure" in Japanese and you will treasure this new Itoh peony in your garden. Large papery blooms stand up well in the wind and rain. I love that they don't all bloom at once, you will have full open flowers and buds on the same plant, making the blooms last a long while.
