Singing in the Rain Itoh Peony
Paeonia 'Singing in the Rain'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Paeoniaceae
Plant Description: Large, semi-double, creamy yellow peony blossoms come in late spring and as they mature into the early summer, they take on peachy-coral shades. On top of being beautiful and showy, these blossoms add a soft fragrance to the area. This shrubby perennial is sure to add splashes of color and sweet aromas along borders and in focal areas. Itoh peonies, or intersectional peonies, are hybrids of the tree peony (P. lemoinei) and garden peony (P. lactiflora).
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.
