Get a taste of garden luxury with Garden Candy® Peach-a-Licious™ Itoh Intersectional Peony, a luscious standout from the Garden Candy® series. This dazzling peony serves up generous, double blossoms in creamy peach-pink tones with dramatic maroon flares dancing around golden stamens. The blooms sit snugly above compact, olive-green foliage, creating a rounded, well-behaved silhouette that adds structure and softness to borders, foundations, and mixed beds alike.
Bred by Don Smith and tissue-cultured for vigorous growth and genetic consistency, Garden Candy® Peach-a-Licious™ Itoh Intersectional Peony thrives in full to partial sun and boasts excellent mildew resistance, sturdy stems, and no need for staking. It delivers a showy yet low-maintenance bloom season in late spring to early summer, with foliage that deepens to maroon come fall for three seasons of visual interest.
As an Itoh peony—born from a cross between herbaceous and tree peonies—Garden Candy® Peach-a-Licious™ Itoh Intersectional Peony merges the best traits of both: abundant flowers, upright stems, refined cut-leaf foliage, and long-lasting performance. Whether you're lining a walkway or enhancing a cottage-style bed, this sweet bloomer brings color, consistency, and a whole lot of charm to your garden.

GARDEN CANDY® PEACH-A-LICIOUS™ ITOH INTERSECTIONAL PEONY Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips
- Recommended Soil: Prefers rich, well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0–7.0). Amend with compost or organic matter for best results, and avoid soggy or compacted soils to prevent root rot.
- Sun Exposure: Full sun (6+ hours daily) for best flowering. Tolerates part shade, especially in hotter climates.
- Irrigation Needs: Water deeply during dry periods, especially in first year. Established plants are moderately drought-tolerant. Avoid overhead watering to prevent mildew on foliage.
- Feeding & Nutrients: Apply a slow-release, balanced fertilizer in early spring. Topdress with compost annually for added nutrients. Avoid excessive nitrogen to encourage flower production.
- Pruning & Maintenance: Deadhead spent blooms to maintain appearance. Cut back all foliage to ground level in fall after dormancy begins. No staking needed—strong stems support massive blooms.

- Tidy Shape, Big Impact: Grows to a compact mound, perfect for smaller garden spaces or front-of-border drama.
- Low Effort, High Reward: Unlike traditional peonies that may need staking or extra support, this one stands tall and proud all season long.
- Three-Season Interest: Late-spring blooms, summer greenery, and maroon fall foliage give this plant landscape value well beyond its flowering period.
