An unregistered variety, I received Itoh peony “Belle Toulousine” from a peony collector friend.

Honestly, with the bright color, I wasn’t sure I would like it. But turns out, I love it. In fact, in our tough 2023 growing season, Belle Toulousaine not only survived, she thrived, producing many large, near perfect blooms.

The flowers are large, fragrant and plentiful on the plant. For us all flowers have been very full semi-doubles but in other climates I understand Belle Toulousaine will also produce true doubles as well.

The color is a bright pink containing a lot of blue/violet. If you need a reslient plant that adds vibrant color to your garden, look no further than“Belle Toulousaine”!
