Hillary Itoh Hybrid Peony

Bought this Itoh peony root figuring it was left over stock from the prior year/spring and worth providing some babying. So glad I made this decision so far! Started the root in a grow bag to control the light during summer and the root took off, at least 5 eyes have all sprouted. I will be moving this into my landscape in the next week or two, excited to see growth next spring.

I received a tuber carefully boxed and in good shape I planted it right away according to instructions in a 10 inch diameter, clay pot and have placed it in the sun. Very quickly, I have three little sprouts from the tuber, the tallest of which is now about 12 inches after about one month. It is fall so obviously it is not going to flower this year so my true assessment will be next year when I see if the tuber flourishes and flowers beautifully as I hope.

Very pleased so far. 2 or so months on doing great and put on leaves.

Came in good condition
