Paeonia ‘Morning Lilac’ has rich purple, magenta, and near-red flowers with yellow centres. Luscious! Itohs are intersectional hybrids between tree peonies (P. suffruticosa) and garden peonies (P. lactiflora) making outstanding herbaceous perennials with huge flowers in many unusual colours. A mature plant can have over 50 blooms! The foliage is like a tree peony and emerges rich red, gradually turning green.
