Our varieties of intersectional hybrids (Itoh hybrids)
During the 1970s, the Japanese Toichi Itoh set a new frontier in hybridization of peonies by crossing a variety of Paeonia lactiflora with a hybrid of Paeonia lutea. The outcome was a plant that has the characteristics of both an herbaceous peony (fall withering of leaves and stem) and a tree peony (ramification of the stem and appearance of leaves and flowers), with some outstanding features, such as a longer blooming period and a great decorative effect.
Itoh Hybrids are still very rare and hard to find in Italy, and we continue to select some of the best american hybrids.

'Garden Treasure' (Hollingsworth 1984):
This plant is characterized by its very elegant posture and vigor and, of course, by the beauty of its flowers. In our opinion, it is one of the best Ioth hybrids.
The semi-double flowers have lemon petals with red veins at the base; the carpels have pink stigmas and are surrounded by vanilla stamens. The leaves are dark green and have a shape in between those of its parent plants; as a result, the plant has a great ornamental value even when it is not flowering. Late and long-lasting flowering.
This is the first intersectional hybrid awarded with a gold medal from the American Peony Society.
