🌱 Itoh/Intersectional Peony: Growing Guide

Itoh peonies blend the best of herbaceous and tree peonies—vibrant blooms with strong, woody stems:

• Soil & pH: Prefers neutral to slightly acidic soil (pH 6.5–7.0); enrich with compost or blood & bone
• Planting Depth & Spacing: Plant buds 3–5 cm below soil; space ~1 m apart
• Light Requirements: Full sun to part shade
• Watering: Maintain even moisture during warm months; drought-tolerant later
• Feeding: Apply balanced fertiliser in early spring and after blooming
• Winter Care: May not fully die back; cold exposure enhances flowering—avoid thick mulch

• Division: Divide sparingly after 5–7 years in dormancy; replant quickly to preserve root health
• Container Capability: Yes, with deep pots, rich soil, and winter chill
