Hillary Itoh Peony
Paeonia x 'Hillary'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Paeoniaceae
Plant Description: This hybrid is a cross between a tree peony and herbaceous peony, giving it strong stems and an extended bloom like a tree peony, but the fragrance and hardiness that comes with an herbaceous peony. Blooms have a merlot pink center that fades out to rosy pink petals, contrasting with the bright yellow stamens. Mature plants are covered in blooms!
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
