Description

The Paeonia x Garden Candy® 'Smithopus10' Candy Apple™ Itoh Peony is a standout intersectional hybrid, combining the best traits of herbaceous and tree peonies. Bred by Donald Smith, this cultivar is notable for being the first commercially available double red Itoh peony, showcasing vibrant, deep magenta-red blooms that span 4–6 inches across. The plant maintains a compact, rounded form with flowers held close to the foliage, eliminating the need for staking. Its foliage remains attractive throughout the growing season and transitions to a maroon hue in the fall, adding seasonal interest. Additionally, Candy Apple™ is both deer and mildew-resistant, making it a resilient choice for gardeners.

First commercially available double red Itoh peony.
Compact, rounded growth habit with flowers held close to the foliage.
Deer and mildew-resistant with attractive maroon fall foliage.
