Paeonia Itoh - First Arrival
‘First Arrival’ is a highly sought-after Itoh (intersectional) peony, renowned for being one of the earliest to bloom in its class. Its large, semi-double flowers—6–8 in (15–20 cm) across—open in a soft lavender-pink, each petal accented by rich reddish-purple flares at the base and surrounding a cluster of bright yellow stamens. Lightly rose-scented and carried on strong, upright stems, the blooms are both elegant in the garden and long-lasting in a vase. A prolific bloomer with abundant side buds, ‘First Arrival’ offers an extended display of up to four weeks, making it a standout in spring borders and cutting gardens.
