The Gordon E. Simonson Peony is the undisputed “showstopper” of the spring garden, perfect for anyone who wants a flower that looks like a masterpiece. This rare Itoh hybrid stands about 3 feet tall and wide, offering a sturdy, upright habit that never flops under the weight of its massive blooms. It loves a spot with full sun to partial shade, and once established, it rewards you with gigantic, semi-double flowers in a breathtaking shade of deep magenta-purple with golden centers. Because it is an intersectional peony, it possesses the woody stems of a tree peony and the lush foliage of a bush, which stays a vibrant green until frost. Best of all, peonies are naturally deer and rabbit-resistant, as their sap is quite bitter to garden critters. Its a long-lived, hardy investment that brings a touch of exotic luxury to your backyard every single year.
