Pink Peony

Latin: Paeonia x 'Cannes*. It is a cultivar of a relatively new group of peonies, the Itoh hybrids. The first of these hybrids were raised by a Japanese gardener Toichi Itoh, who in 1948 was successful in crossing a tree peony with an herbaceous cultivar. This led to a development of a new class of so-called intersectional hybrids, having large flowers held well above the foliage on plants with a long flowering period.
