Core Characteristics: The flower color is highly distinctive. Petals have a creamy yellow or light yellow base, covered with striking magenta or deep purple markings. The markings become more pronounced as the flower matures, and the marking distribution on each flower is unique.
Cultivation Performance: Excellent cold hardiness. Can be cultivated outdoors in most regions of China; overwinters in northern winters without complex protection and grows normally in warmer southern regions. Highly adaptable to soil pH; can grow in acidic, neutral, and alkaline soils. Prefers full sun or partial shade environments; daily ample sunlight makes the flower color brighter.
Lollipop peony is a high-quality Itoh hybrid peony combining ornamental value and practicality. Its core highlights are the unique marking patterns on the flowers and the foliage color that changes with the seasons.
