Description / Paeonia 'Pastel Splendor' Itoh Peony

Paeonia 'Pastel Splendor' is a compact Itoh peony that grows to a mature size of 30 to 36 inches tall with a wider spread. A midseason bloomer, known for its huge flowers, 'Pastel Splendor' sets unique blossoms containing two rows of five pale lavender petals each, which shade to cream toward the center and reveal ten dark purple flares and multiple carpels. Set against a backdrop of lush, refined, dark green leaves, the showy flowers are displayed on long, sturdy stems, which are perfect for cutting. The foliage adds texture and color to the garden throughout the summer and colors up in autumn, taking on shades of purple or gold.

An Itoh peony, also called an intersectional peony, 'Pastel Splendor' is a rare hybrid of a tree peony and an herbaceous peony, blending the best attributes of each. With its compact and bushy growth habit, this versatile plant is a beautiful addition to mixed beds, borders, and containers. It is particularly captivating when grouped in the garden, making a lovely low hedge or a picturesque backdrop for spring bulbs. This sturdy and cold-hardy (Zones 2-8) peony can live for over a century with proper care and placement.

'Pastel Splendor' Itoh peony is low-maintenance, easy to grow, and highly adaptable. It flourishes in sunny to partially shaded spots with soil that is humus-rich, medium moist, and well-draining. Water 'Pastel Splendor' frequently while actively growing and add a layer of mulch to keep soil cool and moist. Protect it from strong winds and prune the foliage back to the ground in late fall for optimal growth. This peony is naturally resistant to deer and rabbits, making it a trouble-free garden favorite.

Plant the 'Pastel Splendor' Itoh root in spring, 1 to 2 inches deep, spacing them 20 to 36 inches apart for multiple plantings. Peonies are exceptionally well-suited to cold climates and require an extended winter chill to break dormancy and encourage healthy growth.
