What a cracker this lovely peony is, and a one off too. It’s an Intersectional Peony, a hybrid between traditional perennial varieties and the tougher tree peony, combining beauty, colour and robustness in one, also known as an Itoh Peony after Dr. Toichi Itoh.
Paeonia Itoh ‘Bartzella’ produces beautiful lemon-yellow flowers with frilly, ruffled centres and unique magenta streaks at the petal base. Quickly forming a neat mound of deep-green foliage that acts as the perfect backdrop for its giant flowers, this superb peony with flower its socks off in April and May, and even into June. What’s more, the blooms carry a wonderful lemon-citrus scent which is a joy on those sunny spring days!
