Intersectional or Itoh peonies are the result of breeding between the herbaceous peonies (which die down to ground level each year) and the tree or woody peonies (which keep a woody branch system all year round). These hybrid peonies are named after Toichi Itoh, the Japanese originator of these wonderful garden plants! Compact, bushy and easy to grow, once settled in you can leave your Intersectional Peonies to flaunt their magic every year with very little intervention. Bursting forth into bloom from around May to June, it’s a real treat for the eyes during the spring-to-summer changeover!
