Paeonia 'Bartzella'
This peony is the Rolls-Royce of yellow peonies and we are thrilled to share this splendid intersectional (herbaceous x tree) peony. It is a deer-resistant hybrid that goes dormant to ground level and buds like an herbaceous peony but has yellow flowers and foliage like a tree peony. Developed by peony breeder Roger Anderson ('86) of Wisconsin, established clumps of Bartzella peony can reach 3' tall x 3' wide with up to 80, 9" wide, fully-double yellow flowers. The flowers don't fall over in the rain like some herbaceous peonies. Bumblebees are the main pollinator for peonies, but since Bartzella peony is a double flower with so many petals, don't expect many pollinators to be drawn to your plant.
