Itoh peonies are a cross between a general peony and tree peony. The roots are easy to divide, and the blooms are highly decorative. It is not unusual for itoh peonies to produce fifty or more blooms after established! Even after flowers are past, the foliage maintains beauty and remains a focal point in the garden. Cora Louise features large pure white flowers that are pleasantly fragrant. Buds open delicately to reveal lavendar petal hearts.
