Blueberry Lemonade Itoh Peony

Blueberry Lemonade Itoh remains beautifully compact, with its blossoms held close to the foliage for a consistently neat appearance in the garden. Each double, lemon-yellow flower is distinct—some adorned with plentiful blueberry-purple stripes, while others display just a few—adding a playful and unique character to the plant. Like a box of gourmet candies, each day brings a delightful surprise, with every bloom offering its own irresistible charm.
This variety is also deer- and mildew-resistant, and as autumn approaches, its foliage turns a striking maroon, further enhancing its appeal. Easy to grow and effortless to enjoy, Blueberry Lemonade is sure to become a favorite for both gardeners and admirers alike.

This specific variety, like all introductions in the Candy Series by Don Smith, has been propagated through tissue culture, an innovative method for replicating peonies. One major advantage of this technique is the rapid production of exact replicas of the parent plant. Traditional methods like grow and divide can take years before new varieties are available in the market. Although the roots of these tissue-cultured peonies may appear smaller compared to traditional peony roots, they are packed with numerous eyes, ensuring a strong foundation for their growth and development.
