OUR NEW VARIETIES FOR SPRING 2015 DELIVERY
We are very excited to unveil the first of many new introductions to come, resulting from
our work with breeders using a different approach to breeding unique and improved Itoh
peonies. This first introduction from breeder
Thierry Rat is named in honor of Caroline
Constabel, the plant scientist that pioneered
the tissue culture technology for commercial
peony micropropagation.
CAROLINE CONSTABEL, PPAF
Dr. Caroline Constabel proudly posing with her
namesake.
The 'Caroline Constabel' Itoh peony has many large, very
double pink flowers and darker flares with 3 to 5 flowers
per stem. The stems are strong and easily keep the
flowers upright above the healthy dark green foliage
which looks good even after flowering. This is the first of
the new Itohs with very double, bomb-like blooms.
LIMIT OF 300 PLANTS PER CUSTOMER
AND TWO OTHER NEW GREAT VARIETIES!
YELLOW DOODLE DANDY
Say hello to Doodle Dandy. The semi-double to
double flowers are a clear deep yellow with no flares.
The large blooms are displayed on upright stems just
above and beyond the foliage. The dark green
foliage lasts well into autumn. Light and pleasant
fragrance.
... AND MANY MORE TO COME

PINK DOUBLE DANDY
This Dandy has semi-double to double pink
blooms. The flowers are a lovely shade of
lavender pink that is much darker towards the
center. Large flowers and many excellent lateral
buds. Flowers are nicely presented on upright
stems well above the foliage. Very floriferous with
a long bloom period.

as well.

and lighter pink background of this beauty. A semidouble flower on a sturdy bush looking for that special
place in your garden.
P l a n t e c k ' s

BARTZELLA
A vigorous plant with huge semi-double to double

glow in the afternoon sun. The large, well-formed
blossoms are carried high above the lush green
foliage. With a lemony fragrance, this is a perennial
favourite.

Large, white semi-double blooms with deep lavender
to purple flares are reminiscent of Paeonia rockii.
Strong stems hold the bloom above the dark green
foliage, along with a pleasant fragrance.

PASTEL SPLENDOR
The splendor of this variety resides in the vivid dark red
flares contrasted by creamy rose to pale yellow petals and
white stigmas. This is a more compact bushy plant than
most of the other Itohs.
I T O H
MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR
Gorgeous, semi-double to double flowers are a cream
& pink blend that is very pink when first open, but fades
to a beautiful creamy white with a lavender pink picotee
after several days in the bright sun.
P l a n t e c k ' s
KOPPER KETTLE
Semi-double to double tri-color blooms of red, yellow and
orange give this flower an overall coppery appearance.

handsome addition to the garden.

stripes give this plant its name. Add to this the dark green
foliage and a spherical shape, this plant is a treat for the
eyes.

with varying amounts of white and darker fuchsia striping.
This vigorous plant is an early bloomer and very
floriferous.

SEQUESTERED SUNSHINE
P e o n i e s

tipped carpels and red flares are held well above the
dark green foliage. Vigorous and floriferous, the long
stems also make good cut flowers.
P l a n t e c k ' s
SCARLET HEAVEN
Large single, scarlet red blooms that startle the eye. The
red-tipped carpels surrounded by a ring of yellow stamens
vary in shape and number and make for an interesting
center even after the petals have dropped.

SCRUMDIDLEUMPTIOUS
This large creamy yellow, occasionally pink, semi-double
flower looks good enough to eat! An excellent landscape
rating.
SINGING IN THE RAIN
Semi-double flowers are yellow but heavily flushed and
suffused with pink when first open. From a distance
newly opened flowers appear light orange and they
truly sing in the rain. Multi-coloured blooms on a
floriferous plant with many side buds.
SIMPLY RED
YANKEE DOODLE DANDY
This beautiful deep red variety was previously only
known as ‘red double seedling’. We have had great
success with this one in tissue culture and thought that
it was high time to give it a name.
Semi-double to double blooms are a deep pink with cream
undertones that come to the surface as the flowers mature.
The attractive center contains a tight circle of stamens.
This is a vigorous grower.

Itoh (or intersectional hybrid) peonies were developed by crossing
herbaceous peonies with tree peonies with the best qualities of both:
Herbaceous growth habit;
Stronger stems that hold flowers upright even after a heavy rain;
Do not attract ants;
New palette of colors and forms not previously found in
herbaceous varieties (yellow, flares etc);
Extreme winter hardiness (buds located at
the crown as herbaceous);
Healthy and attractive foliage, bushy form
(tree peony type).
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY
We are the first and only lab in the world to be able to mass propagate peonies
by tissue culture.
Itoh peonies are becoming more popular and demand is constantly increasing.
Add high value plants to your offer and increase your profit per square meter.
Blooming size will be reached by a stage 3 plant after 2-3 years of growth.
Stage 3 plants are shipped rooted and washed. Detailed instructions with a photo
sheet are included with the first shipment.
