The semi-double flowers open in soft apricot tones and feature a striking darker eye zone in the heart of the flower.

As is characteristic of Itoh peonies, this cultivar features a vigorous, compact growth habit with sturdy stems that provide excellent support for the flowers.

Furthermore, the healthy, dark green foliage remains decorative well into the autumn, ensuring the plant retains significant ornamental value even after flowering.

Paeonia Itoh 'Berry Berry Fine' grows best in a sunny to lightly shaded location in well-drained, nutritious soil. Once well established, this hardy perennial is particularly low-maintenance and can continue to grow in the same spot for decades. Year after year, the plant develops into an increasingly profusely flowering clump.

Thanks to its warm apricot color, 'Berry Berry Fine' combines beautifully with blue salvias, purple catnip, ornamental grasses, and white-flowering perennials. This cultivar is also a valuable choice as a cut flower, thanks to its sturdy stems and long-lasting decorative blooms.

With its refined color, insect-friendly flowers, and vigorous growth, Paeonia Itoh 'Berry Berry Fine' is an exclusive addition to any garden and an excellent choice for lovers of special peonies.
