This high price tag reflected the time required to grow these plants to the point that they could yield divisions. Today, Itoh peonies are multiplied more quickly through tissue culture techniques, bringing the price down to less than $50 to $100 per plant.
Why peonies are so expensive?
They are long lasting and have a fantastic shelf life within the chain from grower to end user. On top of that, they ship well. Finally, demand is always high, especially around Mother's Day. Any one of these factors would make the price high, but peonies cover all the bases.
How big do Itoh peonies get?
Itoh peonies have enormous flowers up to eight inches across, with undulating petals encircling a froth of yellow stamens. All the original Itoh cultivars were yellow, but today they come in a wide range of beautiful colors including coral, red, pink and white, as well as their signature buttery yellow.
