{"product_id":"bartzella-itoh-peony-bare-root-plant","title":"Bartzella Itoh Peony - Bare Root Plant","description":"\u003cp\u003eBartzella is an Itoh peony, a cross between garden and tree peonies, with big, soft yellow blooms marked by a touch of rose-purple at the heart. The semi-double to double blooms reach 6 to 8 inches across and have a noticeably sweet fragrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA mature clump can carry dozens of flowers, spaced neatly over the top and sides of the plant, and some established plants produce 80 or more. The finely cut foliage resembles a tree peony and stays attractive through fall, forming a sturdy 3-foot clump that can stand in for a small shrub. The stems are strong enough that it rarely needs staking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLarge, semi-double to double flowers 6 to 8 inches across have broad, ruffled petals in soft buttery pastel yellow, with a small rose-purple to red flare at the base of the inner petals and a boss of golden stamens partly visible in the center. Blooms are distributed evenly across the crown and outer edges of the plant on sturdy stems. The foliage is deeply divided and lobed like a tree peony, medium to dark green and slightly glossy. The plant forms a dense, rounded, shrub-like clump about 30 to 36 inches tall and wide. At peak bloom dozens of yellow flowers cover the green dome.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBartzella likes the same sun and good drainage as lavender, and a clump makes a strong anchor at the end of a lavender row, its soft yellow flowers opening just before the lavender and its foliage giving a green backdrop all summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun to light part shade in fertile, well-drained soil, with the crown set about 1.5 to 2 inches below the soil surface. Hardy in zones 4-9 and drought tolerant once established. Cut the stems back to a few inches in late fall, and avoid moving an established clump.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paeonia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pastel yellow with a rose-purple center flare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium to dark green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dense, rounded shrub-like clump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30–36 in tall × 30–36 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun, part sun to part shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom start:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late-May\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early-June\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Flush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDormant bare-root plant, sold in boxes of 25 per variety (order in multiples of 25).
