Paeonia Evie Jane ('Smithopus7') (Garden Candy Series)
intersectional paeony or ITOH peony
Displaying stunning semi-double blooms that can reach up to 25cm (10in) across, this eye-catching peony captivates with its pale rosy red flowers which hide a deeper raspberry centre, are elegantly nestled close to the lush foliage. Compact and mounding in habit, these intersectional peonies require no staking and maintain their tidy, rounded shape even after blooming has finished. Resistant to both deer and mildew, these long-lived plants are low-maintenance and thrive best with at least six hours of sunlight, making them a remarkable addition to any garden. Paeonia ‘Evie Jane’ also serves as an excellent source of cut flowers, enhancing floral arrangements with its striking appearance.
All of our peonies are field grown. We supply potted plants throughout the year, and subject to availability during the dormant winter months, we also offer bare-root plants (or tubers). If buying a potted plant, please keep in mind that some of the compost may still be a little loose, falling away when the plant is removed from the pot.

How to care for Paeonia Evie Jane ('Smithopus7') (Garden Candy) (PBR):
Bare root plants should either be potted up or planted out as soon as possible while avoiding frosty or waterlogged conditions. Plant all peonies into well-prepared soil, making sure that the highest bud on the crown is no deeper than 5cm (2in) below the soil surface. In growth, keep well fed and watered, and remove spent flowers after they have faded. In each subsequent spring, apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser around the base of the plant and mulch with well-rotted compost or manure.
