Paeonia ‘Danse du Feu’


Itoh Hybrid Peony

USDA Zone: 3-9

Plant number: 1.900.820


Itoh Peonies are rare and unusual hybrids between Garden Peonies and Tree Peonies. There are several varieties, all highly sought after by collectors, yet easy to grow and very hardy. This selection forms a upright bush of lush green leaves. The very large, fully double, flowers are a beautiful pastel peachy-pink and cream with a dark rose centre. Peonies seldom need to be divided or moved, but if necessary it should be carried out only in the fall. Flowering is always best in a sunny location. Trim off the old leaves in the fall to help prevent disease problems. Plants usually die to the ground, or to very low woody stems in the winter. Flowers on cut stems have a short life which makes them less suitable in arrangements. A better alternative for indoor display, cut about an inch below a bloom and float in a rose bowl. USPPP: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
