Itoh Peony Cora Louise

Itoh Peony Cora Louise

Showy, semi-double white flowers with purple flames beckon garden visitors to take a closer look. The gorgeous flowers stand out against the lush, green foliage. Itoh Peony Cora Louise's large flowers are beautiful in the vase and bouquets, too. Itoh peonies are a cross between exotic tree peonies and perennial herbaceous peonies. Blooming in mid to late spring, these easy-care perennials look good in mixed perennial beds, as foundation plantings or even grouped as a low-growing hedge. Growing 23-27" tall, Cora Louise produces up to 50 blooms per plant. Peonies grow best in full sun to partial shade. Deer tend to avoid.

Grows Well, Wrong Color

Submitted 2 years ago

By Ginkgo

From Los Angeles

I planted the root in the fall/winter, supersized to see first flower blooming the next late spring. However, instead of white and purple, the flower appeared to be yellowish. It looked like I received a different kind.
