Paeonia Garden Candy® Wonka's Golden Ticket
Double yellow
Cause I got a golden ticket, I've got a golden twinkle In my eye. This variety was the favorite, most consistent yellow in Don Smith's collection. Unlike other yellows on the market, Wonka's Golden Ticket has fully double, lemon-yellow flowers held tight to the plant, making a stunning, consistent display. You too can be a lucky winner with this lovely selection in your garden. It’s your ticket to beauty! As with all Garden Candy® ITOHS, Wonka's Golden Ticket is deer and mildew-resistant and has three lovely seasons of interest with its maroon fall color and clean summer foliage.
