Van Zyverden Itoh Peony First Arrival Set of 1 Root

Van Zyverden Itoh Peony First Arrival Set of 1 Root
Peonies are perennials and are known to live for decades, even generations. The blooms are outrageously beautiful, producing lush, glossy green foliage all summer long, turning purplish or gold in the fall. Itoh type Peonies are bred by cross breeding herbaceous type Peonies with tree Peonies, creating a new hybrid. In the old days they sold for as much as $1,000.00 each, but these days are much more affordable. They are somewhat more expensive to propagate, but well worth the investment in your garden. Itoh Peony First Arrival is one of the earliest Itoh peonies to bloom each season hence its name. Makes for an exotic cut flower. As a hybrid it combines the best qualities of its parental varieties.
