Paeonia 'Soft Salmon Saucer'

Description

Itoh' peonies have been around for a while now and many who visit Chelsea will have been amazed by the scale of their spectacular blooms. Unlike any other traditional peony, they are an intersectional cross between herbaceous and tree peonies making them highly collectable and desirable. Compared to some other pink peonies, this really is a softer choice thanks to its pale salmon pink flowers. The yellow stamens and green foliage provide enough contrast for this subtle flower to shine.

Care Tips

Water regularly in dry spells during the first year to aid establishment. Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, but avoid covering the centre of the plant as this could damage the buds. Support stems as they carry heavy flower heads.
