Intersectional Peonies (Itoh hybrids)
(dug only in fall)

Intersectionals are hybrids between a herbaceous peony and a tree peony.  Foliage is very beautiful and flowers are generally large and held on sturdy stems.   This group of peonies is in high demand due to their outstanding plant habits, flowers, and year round appeal.  Plants are very hardy and may be treated as a herbaceous peony.  Many gardeners liken Intersectionals to a herbaceous peony that possesses tree peony-like flowers and generally grow more vigorously than either of the parents.  Excellent plants that are among the best new perennial garden plants available in the past century!  Our plants are all from divisions of original stock, therefore, are blooming size.  We do not sell tissue culture plants.

Sometimes they are called Itoh hybrids in honor of the Toichi Itoh, the hybridizer that created the first of these plants.  Roger Anderson, Don Smith, William Seidl and Don Hollingsworth are the most recent hybridizers of this excellent group of plants.  They are sure to please.
