Keiko (Adored) Itoh Peony
Best low-maintenance perennial for gardeners seeking deer-resistant, color-changing floral displays.
These peonies offer the rare luxury of color-shifting blooms that actually stay upright rather than flopping over in the rain. You sacrifice the fleeting lifespan of traditional varieties for a sturdy, deer-resistant structure that looks just as good in a container as it does in the ground.
