Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements

Add some romance to your garden this year with the heavenly blooms of Cora Louise Itoh Peony (Paeonia x 'Cora Louise'). This uniquely colored Peony is the result of a cross between woody tree Peony (Paeonia suffruticosa or P. suffruticosa x P. lutea or P. delavayi), and herbaceous Peony (P. lactiflora) It is part of a group of intersectional hybrids that is causing quite a stir.
Nearly transparent, clear white petals are delicate and ethereal. Each joins together in a burst of deep rosy-burgundy. The centers of each ruffled bloom are highlighted by a crown of golden anthers, creating a lovely glow from within!
Borne on sturdy stems and set off with a backdrop of deep green foliage, each bloom of Cora Louise Itoh Peony will stand tall in both sun or part shade!
Calling visitors of all kinds, you'll especially enjoy the flying flowers that will flock to your blooms each spring, lasting into summer!
Long-lasting blooms are perfect cut flowers for vase arrangements or bouquets, so remember to plant a few extra so you don't deprive your outdoor visitors!
Glossy-green foliage is strong and doesn't need staking except during strong weather. It creates the perfect backdrop for the fragrant blooms. The attractive foliage lasts right up until fall!
Preferring moist, rich soils, Cora Louise Itoh is nearly pest and disease-free!
The perfect partner for many other blooms. Beautiful in cutting and perennial gardens, and dreamy in the cottage gardens and borders. Drifts of these romantic beauties will stand alone as specimens, but also take your breath away when planted en masse.
