Peony 'First Arrival'

Description

Paeonia Itoh "First Arrival". The plant's lavender blooms are semi-double and abundantly adorn the dark green tree peony-like foliage. It forms a nicely rounded bush, reaching 60 to 70 cm in height.

As its name suggests, it is one of the first Itohs to flower. As with most Itohs, this variety will need a few years before it reaches maturity, but in return for your patience, it will grace your garden for a very long time.

Registered in 1986.

Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit.
