Cream with pink picotee

Paeonia Garden Candy® Truly Scrumptious

Ever seen the Peace Rose? This peony has flowers the color of the Peace Rose in creamy yellow and deep pink, with even more petals.

Truly Scrumptious, you're truly truly 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 Truly 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.

Please note: We don't sell plants. Asking your local retailer or googling the plant name is the easiest way to find someone selling our plants.
