Hot Tamale Itoh Peony

$60.00

This compact and sturdy shrub will infuse your garden with a touch of cinnamon spice. Featuring delicate pale red semi-double flowers complemented by bright yellow stamens, it is guaranteed to be a standout feature in your garden. This meticulously shaped plant produces 4-6″ flowers in the early summer, transitioning into a beautiful shrub adorned with vibrant green leaves for the remainder of the season. Additionally, it is resistant to deer and mildew.

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.
