VANILLA MANILA PEONY 3gal

If you are looking for a showstopper that balances elegance with mountain-tough resilience, the Vanilla Manila Peony is your golden ticket. This Itoh hybrid is a garden workhorse, standing a proud 3 feet tall and wide with woody stems that hold their creamy, vanilla-yellow blossoms upright without any messy staking. I find they perform best in a spot that welcomes the morning sun but offers a break from the intense afternoon heat to preserve those delicate, ruffled petals. The best part for those of us living near open spaces? This beauty is remarkably animal-resistant. Deer and rabbits typically turn their noses up at the thick, leathery foliage, letting you enjoy the lush greenery and sweet fragrance all season long. It is a long-lived perennial that asks for very little but gives back a spectacular, sophisticated display every single spring.
