Paeonia Garden Candy® Evie Jane™

Double rasbperry

Evie Jane is named after breeder Don Smith's sweet second granddaughter. As sweet as candy and lovely, this ITOH selection has tons of 6-7” wide semi-double flowers in deep raspberry red. The large flowers are held tight to the foliage for a stunning display. Children love candy. Who doesn’t, right? Sweet Evie Jane loves to walk about the garden with her Papi, looking at all the flowers he has invented. She also likes to plant and water plants, often getting her feet wet. Since all the Garden Candy® ITOHS are deer and mildew-resistant, you don't have much to worry about when adding this stunning plant to your garden.
