intersectional peonies

Intersectional Hybrids
These fabulous plants were not introduced until the late 1980's, when they were known as ‘Itoh’s and they are hybrids between tree peonies and herbaceous peonies. The foliage tends to be more like that of the tree peony, deeply divided and large. The flowers are large and single to semi-double.
They should be planted and cultivated like herbaceous peonies. All grow to around 3ft (90cm) in height. Flowering season starts with the large double peonies, which is early/mid June and continues for about 3 weeks.

‘Garden Treasure’ One of the most beautiful plants I have seen. Large, rounded clump with big, divided leaves has flowers that are 7 ins (20cm) across balanced above it.
