Picture flowers crafted from delectable, creamy strawberry ice cream. Strawberry Swirl boasts the purest, most perfect shade of pink in the garden.

Expect three seasons of delight with its charming early summer blooms, pristine deep olive-green leaves throughout summer, and striking maroon fall foliage.
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.
