Keiko Itoh Peony
Paeonia (Intersectional hybrid) × ‘Pink Double Dandy’
Keiko Itoh Peony is a romantic and floriferous intersectional variety that showers the garden in soft, lavender-pink blossoms. The large, fully double flowers open in a lovely medium lavender-pink and mature to a softer, paler pink, creating a charming two-tone effect on the plant. As with all Itohs, it blooms over a remarkably long period on incredibly sturdy stems that laugh at wind and rain. Its graceful color and prolific nature make it ideal for adding a soft, romantic haze to the mid-spring border.
