Itoh Peony 'Bartzella'

Paeonia ‘Bartzella’   –   Itoh Peony

An award winning and very popular intersectional (itoh) peony.

Blooms are large, 15-20cm wide, semi to fully double, and bright yellow with delicate red flares at the base. As a bonus, they are also fragrant, with a lovely lemon scent.

Flowers late mid-season, over a relatively long period of 3-4 weeks. Flowers profusely, around 30 blooms the first year of blooming size and twice that once mature.

Blooms are held on strong stems, rising up to 80 cm above a bushy mound of lustrous green foliage. Foliage takes on autumnal colours before it drops in autumn.

Awarded the American Peony Society Gold Medal in 2006, and also holds a Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit.
