Peony Variety: ‘Candy Stripe’
An American-bred marvel: gauzy petals in ivory-white blaze with raspberry-red streaks, like wild brushstrokes on melted vanilla ice cream. Semi-double butterfly-form blooms feature ruffled edges; golden stamens glisten as candied honey drops.
Flowering mid-to-late May, its fragrance whispers of spun sugar. Flexible stems shrug off rain. Heat-tolerant and disease-resistant — thrives in containers or borders. Each bloom’s pattern is nature’s improvisation — a garden embodiment of childlike wonder, stirring primal cravings for sweetness.
