Description
The Itoh Peony Callie's Memory is a beautiful double peony, slightly fragrant, with petals in a lovely gradient of cream yellow and peach with blood red splotches.
This opulent perennial peony has deciduous, alternate leaves composed of green leaflets. In May the large solitary double flowers, 15 to 17cm (6 to 7in) in diameter, are borne at the end of a long semi-rigid stem 80cm (32in) tall.
The 'Callie's Memory' Peony dislikes heavy waterlogged soils, especially in winter. Improve your garden soil with sand and compost. Add compost every year in March. Avoid permanent mulching to prevent diseases. A location with dappled sunlight is ideal for beautiful flowering.
The 'Callie's Memory' Peony can be planted in groups of 3 plants in a shrub or perennial bed. It pairs beautifully with irises or roses. The cut flowers are stunning in a bouquet.
Tip: Herbaceous peonies should not be buried more than 3cm (1in) deep, otherwise they will take several years to bloom again.

Planting and care
The Itoh Peony Callie's Memory should be planted from mid-September to April, with a spacing of 80cm (32in) between plants, in a fertile, deep, humus-bearing, moist, and well-drained soil. Choose a sunny but not scorching location, with partial shade if in hotter regions. Avoid permanent mulching, as it can introduce diseases, and apply rose fertiliser or compost in March. Pruning is unnecessary, but remove faded flowers and diseased parts to prevent fungal diseases. You can divide old clumps in autumn but only if the plant becomes overcrowded. Be careful, as it has fragile roots and dislikes being moved; following this operation, it may not flower for several years. From February to April or October to November, cut the foliage down to ground level. Provide support stakes for the flower stems.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
