Paeonia 'Hillary' is an Itoh peony – an unusual hybrid between a garden peony and a tree peony. It's one of several Itoh varieties, all of which are hardy and easy to grow. Plants form an upright bush habit, with lush green leaves, from which large, semi-double blooms appear in spring.

The enormous semi-double flowers of 'Hillary' emerge pink and age to cream with a contrasting red eye and bright yellow stamens.

For best results, grow Paeonia 'Hillary' in rich, well-prepared soil in full sun. Protect from wind and prune in late winter when plants are still dormant.
