ITOH PEONY OLD ROSE DANDY
Peonies are perennials that will live for decades, even
generations. The blooms are outrageously beautiful, producing lush, glossy,
green foliage all summer long, turning purplish or gold in the fall. Peony
blooms are available in a wide range of colors, textures and shapes. A
favorite among florists. Peonies attract hummingbirds and butterflies to the
garden and are deer resistant.
Permanent investment landscape plant; blooms for years to come
Grows well in containers, garden beds and borders
Gorgeous, showy blooms
About This Variety: Itoh Peonies are bred by cross breeding herbaceous
type Peonies with tree Peonies, creating a new hybrid. In the old days they
sold for as much as $1,000.00 each, but these days are much more affordable.
They are somewhat more expensive to propagate, but well worth the investment
in your garden. Itoh Peony Old Rose Dandy features single flowers. Prolific
mid-season to late season flowering. First propagated in 1990. As a hybrid it
combines the best qualities of its parental varieties.
Growing Instructions: Plant Peonies outdoors in spring after all danger
of frost has passed in a partially shaded location. The ideal soil is rich and
porous and drains well, yet still holds enough water for the roots. If your
soil is heavy clay and drains slowly, or very sandy and does not hold water,
add organic soil amendments like peat moss or ground bark. Spread a 3-4 inch
layer of soil amendment if needed and incorporate into the soil to a depth of
10 inches. Plant roots 1-2” deep and 24-48” apart. Cover with soil. Water
thoroughly at planting. While actively growing, water frequently and
thoroughly so that water will reach roots. Mulch to keep the soil cool and to
prevent the soil from drying out. Fertilize every three months.
Care Tip: Treat regularly to control chewing insects, leaf blight and mildew. Divide in late summer every 3 to 4 years.
