Paeonia Garden Candy® Simply Scrumptious™

Cream with pink picotee

Simply Scrumptious, you're truly, simply scrumptious, scrumptious as a cherry peach parfait. Can you see why chose this name? Lemony-peach petals with a cherry blush and picotee edges make for the most stunning combination. This Garden Candy® selection has always been one of our favorites and we are so excited to be able to share it with you. With colorings similar to the peace rose and bomb-shaped flowers with many petals, it is Simply Scrumptious in so many ways. Just like the other selections, the flowers are held close to the foliage, for a stunning early summer flowering show, the plants are deer resistant the the leaves will get no mildew, making for a beautiful all-summer plant. The maroon fall color is a bonus.
