the world leader in peony micropropagation INTRODUCING Three New Itoh Cultivars! 2016 Itoh Peony Catalogue Catalogue 2016
THREE NEW CULTIVARS AVAILABLE IN 2016! Our family of Itoh varieties continues to grow. We are particularly pleased to add Belle Toulousaine to the list of varieties now available from a breeding program that is focused on very double flowers previously only found among herbaceous varieties. As an added bonus, many of the varieties from this program are fragrant, so desirable in a peony bouquet. Belle Toulousaine joins the ranks of Duchesse de Lorraine, Caroline Constabel and Oochigeas that are expanding the horizons of where Itohs can go. "Belle Toulousaine" PPAF is named for the beauty of the women of Toulouse, hometown of the breeder. The fuchsia, double flowers are stunning and previously unknown among the Itohs. The strong stems typical of all Itohs keep these exuberant blooms upright on the bush or in the vase. "Impossible Dream" The impossible part of this dream is not the magnificent flowers, but rather that it is a result of a reverse cross, with the tree peony being the pod parent. Flowers open very deep lavender pink and fade as they mature to a beautiful silvery tipped soft pink. The large, semi-double to double blooms held upright on very strong stems are evidence of its tree peony heritage. "Haleigh s Hallelujah" Hallelujah for these creamy pink blooms! As flowers mature, the deep pink flush fades to cream with pink edging. Strong secondary flowers extend the enjoyment of these blooms, although the foliage remains attractive right through fall.

RECENT ADDITIONS "Duchesse de Lorraine" PPAF is named for the Lorraine region of France, home of renowned breeder Victor Lemoine. This is the first fully double, yellow Itoh with an enticing fragrance as an added bonus. The bomb-type bloom may have as many as 120 petals, far outnumbering even Bartzella. Could this be the yellow cut flower we have all been waiting for? "Caroline Constabel" PPAF The first of our new introductions from breeder Thierry Rat who has succeeded in creating very double, bomb-like blooms in an Itoh hybrid. Many large pink flowers and darker flares with 3 to 5 flowers per stem. Named in honor of the researcher behind Planteck s micropropagation program. "Oochigeas" was inspired by an Abenaquis Native American legend. This is a new color for Itoh peonies, and the numerous, completely double, apricot blooms are sure to make a splash in any garden. Plants give many blooms on healthy-looking dark green foliage. "Strawberry Crème Brûlée" has a rich blend of salmon pink blooms that might remind one of an exquisite French dessert. Floriferous and upright, an excellent addition to any landscape. Plants propagated by tissue culture - delivered as washed Stage 3 rooted plantlets ready for immediate planting. Page 3

P l a n t e c k ' s I T O H P e o n i e s 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.

These flowers are interesting even after the petals have dropped. Good plant habit. 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.

SINGING IN THE RAIN Canadian Peony Society - 2014 Peony of the Year. 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. I T O h P e o n i e s SIMPLY RED This beautiful deep red variety was previously only known as red double seedling. We have had success with this one in tissue culture and thought that it was high time to give it a name. YANKEE DOODLE DANDY 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. 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. Light and pleasant fragrance. 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).
