Peony 'Bartzella', 'Bartzella' Peony, Itoh Peony 'Bartzella', Intersectional Peony 'Bartzella', Yellow Peonies
With an above-average blooming ability, award-winner Itoh Peony ‘Bartzella’ features very large and luminous, golden yellow, semi to fully double flowers, 6-8 in. wide (15-20 cm), delicately flushed scarlet at their heart. Borne in profusion (expect 30 blossoms the first year and over 60 on a mature bush!), they are well presented above the foliage, on strong, erect stems that do not require staking. This late midseason peony will flower in late spring – early summer for 3-4 weeks thanks to the many side buds which open in sequence. As a bonus, this Itoh peony is fragrant with a lovely lemon scent!
Itoh Peonies are hybrids produced by crossing a tree peony with an herbaceous peony. These peonies produce up to 50 or more huge flowers on sturdy short stems that do not require staking. They generally bloom after the herbaceous peonies for 3-4 weeks. Excellent as cut flowers, they are valued for their terrific array of yellow and gold colors, which are not widely available in herbaceous peonies. These plants have the lovely leaf form of the tree peonies but die to the ground in the winter like herbaceous peonies. Strong and healthy, with a nice rounded bush form, they are typically shorter than most bush peonies. Growing up to 2.5 ft. (75 cm) tall by about 3 ft. wide (90 cm), their compact form and lovely shape allow them to be placed at the front of the border.
