Paeonia Itoh 'Canary Brilliants' (Ships in Spring)

Intersectional Peony

Peony 'Canary Brilliants' is a striking Itoh hybrid with large, 6–8 inch semi-double to double blooms in creamy yellow with apricot hues at the center. Some flowers remain soft yellow, while others intensify in color as they mature. Standing 26–32 inches tall, it blooms in mid to late season, with strong stems that hold the flowers upright even in adverse weather. This award-winning variety thrives in full sun to part shade with rich, well-drained soil and is ideal for borders and cut flower arrangements.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Paeonia Itoh 'Canary Brilliants' (Ships in Spring)

Planting: Soak roots in water for 1–2 hours before planting to rehydrate them. Plant as early in spring as the soil is workable—ideally before daytime temperatures consistently exceed 70°F. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root system. Position the crown so the pink “eyes” (buds) sit just below the soil surface: Zones 2–4: 2 inches deep, Zones 5–6: 1 inch deep, Zones 7–8: ½ inch deep.
Spacing: Space plants 3 feet apart to allow for mature spread and airflow.
Light: Full sun (6+ hours daily) is ideal. In hot climates, morning sun with light afternoon shade helps preserve blooms.
Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil with a neutral pH (6.5–7.0). Amend with compost and grit if needed to improve drainage.
Watering: Water deeply after planting and keep soil evenly moist (not soggy) through the first growing season.
Temperature & Humidity: Hardy in USDA zones 4–9. Spring-planted Itohs may take longer to establish and bloom but will thrive long-term.
Fertilization: Hold off on fertilizing until the second year. In year one, focus on root development.
Staking: Itohs have sturdy stems but may benefit from support in windy sites.
Pruning: Cut stems to the ground in late fall after frost. Unlike tree peonies, Itohs die back completely.
Propagation: Divide only if necessary, and only in fall—these long-lived plants resent disturbance.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free. Good air circulation helps prevent botrytis blight. Avoid overhead watering.
