Paeonia 'Hillary' is an exceptional Itoh peony that represents the perfect marriage between herbaceous and tree peonies. Developed by American breeder Roger F. Anderson in 1999, this award-winning variety has earned both the American Peony Society's Award of Landscape Merit (2009) and their prestigious Gold Medal (2020). Its stunning color-changing blooms and robust growth habit make it a prized addition to any landscape project.
A Remarkable Hybrid with Show-Stopping Blooms
The 'Hillary' Itoh peony delivers extraordinary beauty and performance that will impress even the most discerning clients:
- Large, semi-double to double blooms that transition dramatically from deep pink to red, eventually fading to cream with distinctive picotee edging
- Inner petals maintain a rosy-red hue, creating a captivating inner glow effect
- Lush, deeply cut dark green foliage that remains attractive throughout the growing season
- Compact growth habit, reaching 24-30 inches in height with a slightly wider spread
- Excellent disease resistance and deer resistance
- Sturdy stems that hold the substantial blooms upright without staking
- Light, pleasant fragrance that enhances garden spaces
These remarkable qualities make 'Hillary' perfect as a focal point in borders, mixed perennial beds, or foundation plantings.
