Peony Itoh Cora Louise

Experience the magic of the Intersectional (Itoh) Peony with the stunning 'Cora Louise'. This variety is celebrated for its huge, semi-double blooms that are a constantly evolving work of art. The massive, bowl-shaped petals unfurl in a luminous shade of lavender-pink, dramatically contrasted by deep, velvety raspberry-purple flares radiating from the center.

As the flowers mature, the lavender-pink fades beautifully to a soft, creamy white, while the deep purple center retains its intensity, giving you two distinct color palettes from a single plant!
