Delicate in appearance, tough in performance—Garden Candy® Sweet Treat Itoh Intersectional Peony is an irresistible addition to any garden or floral arrangement. This Itoh Peony from Don Smith's Garden Candy® series features soft cream-to-blush-pink petals kissed with rich raspberry highlights, elegantly ruffled and arranged in lush, double blooms. At the center, a vibrant cluster of golden-yellow stamens adds a glowing finish.
Held atop strong, upright stems that never flop, Garden Candy® Sweet Treat Itoh Intersectional Peony forms a rounded mound of rich green, mildew-resistant foliage. The blossoms are fragrant, long-lasting, and outstanding in bouquets—a florist's dream and a garden collector's treasure.
Tough enough to handle heat, humidity, and frigid winters down to -40°F, this low-maintenance perennial is deer-resistant and can live for generations. A perfect fit for borders, foundation plantings, or cutting gardens, it's as reliable as it is beautiful.

GARDEN CANDY® SWEET TREAT ITOH INTERSECTIONAL PEONY Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips
- Recommended Soil: Prefers well-draining loam or sandy loam, slightly alkaline to neutral pH (6.5 to 7.5). Add compost or aged manure in fall or spring for best performance.
- Sun Exposure: Full sun to part shade (at least 6 hours daily). Can benefits from afternoon shade in warmer zones (8–9), but keep in mind that more sun = more blooms!
- Irrigation Needs: Moderate water needs; prefers consistent moisture. Water deeply during dry spells, especially during bloom season. Avoid soggy roots; mulching helps retain moisture.
- Feeding & Nutrients: Feed with a balanced (10-10-10) fertilizer in early spring, and avoid excessive nitrogen to prevent leafy growth over flowering. Light top-dressing of compost in fall strengthens root development.
- Pruning & Maintenance: Cut back foliage to ground after frost in fall. Remove spent blooms to maintain plant vigor, no staking necessary; upright stems are strong and self-supporting
