Variety Origin: Scarlet O’Hara peony belongs to the Itoh peony group, a distant hybrid offspring of tree peonies and herbaceous peonies. In the early 20th century, Japanese horticulturist Toichi Itoh successfully developed the first Itoh peonies.
Core Characteristics: The petals are relatively thick and resilient, allowing the flowers to maintain good form and resist damage from wind and rain.
Cultivation Performance: Prefers sun but avoid intense direct sunlight. Suitable for planting in loose, fertile, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.5-7.5.
As an excellent Itoh peony variety, Scarlet O’Hara possesses high ornamental value due to its rich, vivid red flowers, large bloom size, and regular flower form. It is beloved by gardening enthusiasts for both garden beautification and cut flower use.
