Paeonia cora louise

The Itoh peony 'Cora Louise' is a beautiful hybrid peony that brightens up any garden with its delicate beauty and rich colours. This peony, created by crossing the herbaceous peony and the tree peony, combines elegance with robust growth.

Characteristics:

Flowers: The 'Cora Louise' produces large, soft pink flowers with a subtle cream-coloured edge. The flowers are semi-double and have a light, pleasant fragrance. They bloom profusely in mid-summer, usually June-July.

Growth: This peony reaches a height of 60-80 cm and has sturdy stems that support the large flowers well. The plant has a compact and upright growth habit, which makes it ideal for borders and gardens.

Foliage: The dark green foliage is deciduous; in autumn the leaves die and fall from the plant, leaving the peony bare in winter.

Care:

Location: Place the 'Cora Louise' in a sunny to lightly shaded spot.

Soil: The plant thrives in well-drained, nutritious soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH.

Water: Keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid stagnant water.

Pruning: Remove wilted flowers and prune back dead foliage in the fall.

The Itoh peony 'Cora Louise' needs 2 to 3 years to fully establish and bloom optimally. After that, it will add an elegant and romantic touch to your garden for years to come.
