'Canary Brilliant' is an Itoh peony, a cross between herbaceous and tree peony. Its scented flowers combine warm yellow with pink tones. The plant grows bushy, is hardy in Switzerland and brings a sunny, friendly colour into the garden in late spring.

About this variety

Itoh peonies combine the flowers of tree peonies with the robustness of herbaceous peonies. 'Canary Brilliant' belongs to this group and flowers in a warm blend of yellow and pink. The flowers are scented and appear in May and June, when many spring bloomers are over and summer has not quite begun.

At about 90–110 cm tall and 90 cm wide, the plant grows into a compact bush. In winter it dies back like a perennial and reshoots in spring. A place in a perennial border, at a woodland edge or in a natural garden suits it well. Good neighbours are blue hardy geranium, catmint or dark-leaved heuchera. It does only moderately well in containers.

'Canary Brilliant' is also worthwhile for the vase. Cut the stems when the buds show colour; they will then open indoors and spread their scent. In the right spot, the plant stays for many years and bears more flowers from season to season.

Planting

Plant the rootstock in autumn from September to November or in spring until May. The graft union goes about 10 cm deep into the soil. Keep 70–90 cm from other plants. A sunny to partially shaded spot with moist soil is suitable; lime is tolerated.

Care

Water evenly while the plant establishes and later in dry weather. In spring, add a little compost or organic fertiliser. With heavy flowers and rain, a plant support ring can help. Do not move the plant once it is established. It is hardy in Switzerland; cut the shoots back in late autumn.
