🌱 Itoh/Intersectional Peony: Growing Guide

Itoh peonies merge the floral charm of herbaceous peonies with the strength of tree peonies—flowering reliably after 2–3 years:

• Soil & pH: Prefers neutral to slightly acidic soil (pH 6.5–7.0); enrich soil at planting with compost or blood & bone
• Plant Depth & Spacing: Place buds 3–5 cm deep; leave ~1 m between plants
• Sunlight: Thrives in full sun; partial shade ideal in hotter climates
• Watering: Maintain consistent moisture during warm periods; drought-tolerant once established
• Feeding: Apply balanced fertiliser in spring and again after flowering
• Winter Care: May not die back entirely; cold exposure encourages flowering—avoid thick mulch
• Pruning: Trim stems to ~10 cm after leaves fall to reduce disease risk
• Division: Divide only after 5–7 years, during dormancy; transplant quickly to conserve roots
• Container Growing: Suitable for large pots with sufficient depth, winter chill, and nutrient-rich soil
