Paeonia ‘Bartzella’
Blooming Time
Exposure
‘Bartzella’ was bred by peony expert Roger Anderson crossing P. suffruticosa (tree peony) and P. officinalis (common herbaceous peony). It is crazy floriferous and once mature can produce 80 semi-double, neatly spaced pastel-yellow flowers on a single plant. Each flower is 8-9 inches in diameter, accented with rose-purple flares in the center and emitting a prominent sweet fragrance. ‘Bartzella’ forms deer resistant, sturdy and relatively compact clumps that support its beautiful flowers. It is astounding when planted en masse with other peonies of contrasting color and is a great companion to many perennials.
