With its award-winning performance and captivating color transitions, Hillary offers your clients a truly remarkable garden centerpiece.
A Masterpiece of Peony Breeding
Hillary Itoh peony delivers outstanding value and beauty for landscape professionals and garden centers:
- Spectacular 5-6 inch semi-double to double blooms that transition from deep pink to red, gradually fading to cream edges
- Compact growth habit reaching 24-30 inches in height, perfect for mixed borders and focal plantings
- Lush, deep green semi-glossy foliage that remains attractive throughout the growing season
- Light fragrance that adds sensory appeal to garden spaces
- Exceptional hardiness across USDA zones 3-9, making it versatile for projects nationwide
- Strong stems that hold the large blooms upright without staking, even after rain
This gold medal winner from the American Peony Society (2020) also received the Award of Landscape Merit in 2009, confirming its superior garden performance and client satisfaction.
Planting and Care Guidelines
Plant Hillary Itoh peonies in well-drained, fertile soil with the eyes (growing points) no more than 2 inches below soil level. While adaptable to partial shade, full sun locations produce the most abundant flowering. Expect mid to late spring blooms with an extended 10-14 day flowering period. Once established, these peonies are drought tolerant and remarkably low-maintenance. Fall cutback of foliage to ground level is recommended for optimal health and vigor in subsequent seasons.
