| Description | Frilly semi-double flowers feature crimson-pink flares at the base of the pale silver-pink petals that creates a nearly white petticoat with a vibrant whorl around the deep pink-tipped stamens. The lush mound of foliage emerges red and matures to a deep green. Sure to become a beloved garden favorite. An herbaceous perennial. |
|---|---|
| Bloom Time | Mid to late spring |
| Deciduous/Evergreen | Herbaceous |
| Special Features | Easy Care, Fast Growing |
| Problems/Solutions | Deer Resistant, Tolerates Urban Pollution |
| Growth Rate | Fast |
| Flower Attributes | Flowers for Cutting, Showy Flowers |
| Landscape Use | Border, Container |
| Design Ideas | Itoh peonies are among the most coveted perennials of the border. Aside from the exquisite blooms on strong stems that remain upright even after a heavy rain, their lush, vigorous foliage holds through summer, making them outstanding in foundation planting and beds close to outdoor living spaces. They can also blend naturally into more casual settings creating focal points and bold color in season. A gorgeous plant for flower-filled lawn islands and in high profile front yard locations. Cut peonies are the epitome of romance. When cutting for arrangements, leave at least three leaves on the stem. For longest vase life, cut stems in the morning, choosing buds that have a marshmallow texture with the petal color just peeping through. |
| Flower Color | Pink |
| Foliage Color | Dark Green |
| Companion Plants | Hydrangea (Hydrangea); Viburnum (Viburnum); Bellflower (Campanula); Phlox (Phlox); Catmint (Nepeta); Mock Orange (Philadelphus); Coneflower (Echinacea) |
| Care Instructions | Provide enriched, slightly acidic, well-drained, moist soil. Plant with crown slightly below soil level. Water deeply, regularly in first growing season to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency once established. Apply an annual side dressing of organic compost. Remove spent blooms. Prune back foliage in the fall. |
| History | 'Raggedy Ann' was originally registered by William Krekler in 1958, with unspecified parentage, and later registered and sold under the alternate name of Rosy Prospects Itoh Peony (2008). |
