Paeonia Itoh Hybrid 'Garden Treasure'
Peony
Tips for Homeowners:
Taller peonies will likely need to be staked in order to support weight of the flower, which is best done in the spring before the leaves come out. Rainwater should be enough, but if supplemental water is needed, water at the bottom and not on the leaves. It is important to remove all the above-ground plant material in the fall to discourage overwintering of pests.

Interesting Notes about Peony:
Itoh hybrids are crosses between a herbaceous peony and a tree peony, with flowers and leaves that resemble the tree peony, but grow like the herbaceous peony. This will actually extend the season for the peony because they bloom after herbaceous peony and for longer because not all the buds open at once.
