Evie Jane was christened in honor of breeder Don Smith’s delightful second granddaughter. As charming as a sugary treat, this ITOH selection boasts an abundance of 6-7” wide semi-double flowers in a striking deep raspberry red hue. The sizeable blooms are elegantly nestled against the lush foliage, creating a truly magnificent spectacle in the garden. Additionally, Garden Candy® ITOHs are both deer and mildew-resistant, granting you peace of mind when incorporating this exquisite plant into your outdoor oasis.
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.
