Yellow Waterlily is a stunning semi-double variety with large, butter-yellow blooms resembling a pond lily. Each petal features a rosy-orange base, complementing the golden stamen at the center. Sturdy and tidy, this midseason bloomer adds elegance to any perennial border, with red-toned foliage in autumn.
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. Yellow Waterlily forms a midsized upright bush of lush green leaves, with large, semi-double to double, yellow water lily-like blooms.
