Peonies Herbaceous Peonies are the best known type of peony. They are disease resistant perennial plants that enhance the structure and beauty of any garden and produce some of the best cut flowers available. They bloom during the transition from spring into summer. The shining green leaves remain throughout the summer, die back to the ground in winter and reemerge each spring. Herbaceous peonies require little care and live for generations.

Intersectional Peonies, also know as Itoh, are a hybrid created by crossing a tree peony with an herbaceous peony. These peo- nies produce tree peony flowers and leaves on plants that behave like herbaceous peonies, dying down to the ground in winter and reemerging each spring. A mature plant may produce 50 or more dinner-plate sized flowers on strong short stems that do not re- quire staking. They reach peak bloom near the end of the herbaceous peony bloom. Each plant can remain in bloom for 3-4 weeks with new buds continually opening over this period. They will grow to three feet tall and wide and continue to improve with age.
