High-value Itoh peonies for a stronger spring range
Paeonia itoh Garden Candy® continues to gain traction among growers and retailers thanks to its exceptional garden performance, strong stems, and long flowering window. As hybrids between herbaceous and tree peonies, they offer the best of both worlds: vigorous growth, outstanding disease tolerance, and highly marketable blooms with a premium appearance. Their uniform habit and predictable behaviour make them ideal for consistent production, reliable retail presentation, and high customer satisfaction.
