Yumi™ (Beauty) Itoh Peony
Paeonia (Intersectional hybrid) x 'Yellow Doodle Dandy'
The large, double flower, measuring seven to eight inches, is spectacular: masses of clear yellow petals form a perfect flower with a light and very pleasant fragrance. Blooms are held on strong stems just above a compact mound of dark green, trouble-free foliage. Plant is very hardy and prefers full sun to dappled shade. Excellent dark green foliage, it lasts well into autumn. Ideal for cut flowers. Hybridized by Don Smith, a leading Itoh Peony breeder.
