Paeonia (Itoh Grp) 'Garden Treasure' is a stunning peony variety that enthusiasts and gardeners will adore. With its unique characteristics and beautiful bloom, it is sure to be a highlight in any garden.
One of the distinguishing features of this peony is its pointed or acute leaf tip. This adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the overall appearance of the plant. The leaves, with their dark green main color, provide a lush backdrop for the vibrant flowers.
Speaking of flowers, 'Garden Treasure' produces slightly doubled blooms that are a sight to behold. The petals are a beautiful shade of yellow, with hints of medium yellow and green (color code 001A). The flower scent is normal, but with a strong intensity, filling the air with a delightful fragrance.
The flower diameter of this peony is impressive, reaching 14 to 15 cm in size. Each stem produces a single-flowered inflorescence, allowing the bloom to take center stage. Whether planted in sunny conditions or partial shade, these flowers will thrive and add a splash of color to any landscape.
One aspect to note when cultivating 'Garden Treasure' is the soil fertility. This peony variety has special demands when it comes to soil conditions. It requires nutrient-rich soil to grow and flower to its full potential. Gardeners should ensure that the soil is well-prepared and amended with organic matter for optimal results.

With the right soil fertility, light conditions, and moisture levels, this peony will thrive and reward you with its breathtaking display year after year.
