Variety Origin: Official name Saffron Innocence. An Itoh hybrid peony (Intersectional Peony) developed within European and American breeding systems, featuring a core characteristic of “creamy white to saffron yellow gradient.”
Core Characteristics: Petals have a creamy white base, blending into soft saffron yellow towards the edges, with a more intense yellow at the center, creating a natural gradient. Stamens are golden-yellow.
Cultivation Performance: Prefers full sun. Flower color is brighter with ample sunlight; in partial shade, it may become leggy and produce fewer flowers. Suited for fertile, loose, well-drained slightly acidic to neutral soil. Incorporate decomposed organic matter and perlite for improvement before planting. Strictly avoid waterlogging; ensure timely drainage during rainy seasons to prevent root rot. Cold hardy; for outdoor overwintering in northern regions, covering roots with 5-8 cm of soil is sufficient. In hot, humid southern environments, enhance ventilation and reduce humidity. Possesses comprehensive strong resistance.
