✂️ Maintenance
Hardy and easy-to-grow Itoh Peony. Stake the stems in spring to support the abundant and spectacular flowers with warm copper and apricot hues.
Water regularly during dry periods. Remove spent flowers to prolong blooming and encourage better branching.
After flowering, cut stems back to about 20 cm from the ground to encourage vigorous regrowth the following year. Remove dead foliage in autumn after frost. This peony requires little maintenance once established and can live for several decades in the same spot, becoming an essential focal point in the garden.
