Frequently Asked Questions

What USDA planting zones is Garden Candy™ Peach - A - Licious™ Itoh Peony hardy in?
  • The Garden Candy™ Peach-A-Licious™ Itoh Peony is hardy in USDA zones 3-9. This wide hardiness range makes it suitable for most temperate climates across the United States. Plant in well-draining soil with morning sun for best performance in your zone.

Is this peony suitable for zone 3 or colder climates?
  • The Garden Candy™ Peach-A-Licious™ Itoh Peony is hardy in USDA zones 3-9, making it suitable for zone 3 climates. This tough perennial can handle cold winters and will return reliably each spring. Shop at Nature Hills for this cold-hardy variety.

What are the sunlight and soil requirements for growing this Itoh peony?
  • Itoh peonies thrive in full sun to partial shade with well-draining, fertile soil. This hardy perennial performs best in USDA zones 3-9 and tolerates various soil types as long as drainage is good. Plant in a location with morning sun and ensure soil doesn't stay waterlogged.

Does Peach - A - Licious™ need staking or support for its blooms?
  • No, Peach-A-Licious™ doesn't need staking thanks to its strong, upright stems that naturally support the large blooms. This Itoh hybrid's sturdy structure keeps flowers standing tall without flopping. Simply plant and enjoy worry-free blooms.

What kind of care does this Itoh peony require after flowering?
  • After flowering, simply deadhead spent blooms to keep the plant tidy. The lush foliage continues providing garden structure through fall in zones 3-9. Allow stems to die back naturally in winter, then cut to ground level in early spring before new growth emerges.

Will this peony ship safely in early spring or fall?
  • Itoh peonies ship well in both early spring and fall when dormant. These hardy perennials (zones 3-9) actually prefer cool weather planting since it gives their root systems time to establish before the growing season. Plant in fall for best results, or early spring before new growth emerges.
