This new variety brings stunning blooms that are cream and speckled with dark maroon to almost purple flecks. There is some pink flush to the petals right at bloom as well that adds to the multi-colored effect.
The flower form varies between semi-double to double. Blooms are 6” across with a light and pleasant fragrance. Up to three flowers per stems for a much longer blooms season. Stems are about 32” tall.
Itoh peonies are in the intersectional peony category and generally bloom longer than other herbaceous varieties with up to two weeks of flowers. They never need staking and tend to be more disease resistant.
No staking required!
The Garden Candy® series was developed by Don Smith, a retired atmospheric research scientist who decided breeding Itoh peonies was his new calling. Peonies in the series are named after all things sweet, from candies to sweet fruits to sweet grandchildren.
Week 5 bloom date rating.

#2 Division roots are shipped or available for pickup in fall and are much larger and more likely to bloom than the #1 Divisions sold elsewhere.
