Misaka Itoh Peony is a rare and exquisite gem, offering one of the closest hues to true yellow in the peony world. Its large, double flowers are a soft, creamy primrose yellow, often with a delicate coral-pink blush at the base of the petals. The blooms are gracefully carried on the plant's exceptionally strong, woody stems above a mound of handsome, fine-textured foliage. This intersectional hybrid provides a unique, soft color palette, extended bloom time, and foolproof performance that yellow peony enthusiasts have long dreamed of.

Soft Creamy-Yellow Blooms: Features large, fully double flowers in a rare and sought-after soft yellow color, sometimes with a subtle coral flush at the petal base.
Exceptional Intersectional Traits: Boasts the classic Itoh advantages: incredibly strong stems that never need stalking, a long 3-4 week bloom period, and excellent disease resistance.
Elegant, Refined Presence: The soft yellow color and full double form give it a luxurious and elegant appearance in the garden, perfect for lighting up borders.
Reliable & Low-Care Perennial: Dies back cleanly in fall and re-emerges reliably each spring, requiring no special care beyond basic gardening.
Prized Cut Flower: The unique color and superb vase life make it an extraordinary and coveted flower for high-end floral arrangements.

Knowing how we measure the size?

When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

A larger gallon size generally means:
- A more established root system
- A sturdier plant
- Faster visual impact after planting
Example:
- 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity
- 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.

🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

Commonly used for:
- Ornamental trees
- Feature plants
- Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.
Why choose Multi:
- Fuller, more sculptural appearance
- Strong visual presence even at younger ages
- Popular for design-focused landscapes

🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

Commonly used for:
- Shade trees
- Street trees
- Orchard and structural plantings
Why choose Stand:
- Clean, classic tree form
- Easier clearance for walkways and lawns
- Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity

🌿 Choosing the Right Size

If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form
If you want long-term structure → Stand form
If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers

Q: Will the yellow color fade in the sun?
A: Like many yellow and white flowers, the blooms can fade to a lighter cream or ivory as they age, especially in strong afternoon sun. Planting where it receives morning sun and afternoon shade can help preserve the initial color longer.

Q: Is it a slow grower?
A: Like most intersectional peonies, it establishes steadily but may be slightly slower to increase in size and bloom count compared to some vigorous herbaceous varieties. Patience for the first 2-3 years is rewarded with a magnificent, long-lived clump.
