Description

The Paeonia intersectional hybrid Garden Candy® 'Smithopus9' Strawberry Swirl™ Itoh Peony is a standout in the world of peonies, celebrated for its vibrant, double pink blossoms that evoke the sweetness of strawberry ice cream. Bred by Don Smith, a former atmospheric research physicist turned passionate peony breeder, this cultivar is part of the Garden Candy® series, which aims to bring delightful colors and forms to gardens. Strawberry Swirl™ boasts semi to fully double, fragrant flowers with bright yellow stamens, set against lush, deep olive-green foliage that transitions to a rich maroon in the fall. Its compact, rounded habit requires no staking, and it's both deer and mildew resistant, making it a low-maintenance choice for gardeners seeking prolonged seasonal interest.

Clear, pure candy-pink double flowers (~3–4" across) with yellow stamens; flowers held close to foliage (no staking).
Compact, rounded habit (≈24–36" tall × wide) with attractive summer foliage that often turns maroon in fall.
Selected/bred for mildew resistance and deer resistance (part of the Garden Candy® selections).
