A rare, semi-double peony featuring 5–6 inch light yellow, cup-shaped blooms with ten wide overlapping petals. Red flares are highlighted by a ring of yellow stamen, creating a striking contrast. Strong, sturdy stems support the lightly fragrant flowers and finely cut green foliage, which turns red in spring and autumn. A midseason bloomer, this special variety thrives in fertile, well-draining soil with full sun or part shade, offering lasting beauty and excellent autumn interest without the need for staking.

Itoh peonies are a cross between a general peony and tree peony. The roots are easy to divide, and the blooms are highly decorative. It is not unusual for itoh peonies to produce fifty or more blooms after established! Even after flowers are past, the foliage maintains beauty and remains a focal point in the garden. Viking Full Moon features robust, upright stems and is a bright and attractive plant for any sunny garden.
