Raspberry-pink blooms with glowing golden centers make this Itoh peony an absolute standout in the cutting garden. Itoh Peony Pink Ardour is a semi Itoh type, producing some of the largest flowers (eight inches across!) with fewer petal layers and typically one impressive bloom per sturdy stem, perfect for bouquets. Strong, upright stems resist flopping in poor weather, while deep copper-red foliage emerges in spring and gradually matures to green for season-long interest.
