Singing in the rain will boast multiple coloured blooms on the same plant, a semi double form flower can be seen in orange, yellow with infused pink or any combination of those colours. Nothing but enjoyable! Itohs have a larger range of colours, longer flowering periods and present a bushier more floriferous plant. They carry foliage similar to that of the Tree Peony however die back to ground level just as their herbaceous cousins. Itoh’s are more likely to flower much better in warmer and more temperate climates. They also have a higher tolerance to disease.
This Itoh will be happy in its pot for another 12 months before repotting or planting into your garden, with the best time for this being in autumn.
Make sure your soil pH is adjusted or maintained close to neutral for best results and use a slow release fertiliser in Autumn.
The pot will be happy in full sun but may benefit from part shade for added protection during a hot summer.
