Run your fingers along the sturdy stems of Pink Double Dandy Itoh Peony (Paeonia ‘Pink Double Dandy’) and you’ll understand immediately why gardeners reach for this hybrid first. The blooms — full, layered, and deeply pink — arrive in late spring to early summer without flopping, no staking required.
As an intersectional peony, Double Dandy inherits the best of both worlds: the generous, tree-peony-sized flowers you’ve always wanted, paired with the cold hardiness and clean die-back habit of an herbaceous peony. It thrives in USDA Zones 3–8 and grows 24–36 inches tall by 30–48 inches wide — well-proportioned for borders or cutting gardens.
Give it full sun to part sun, rich well-drained soil, and consistent moisture during active growth. After fall frost, cut stems to the ground. That’s genuinely the whole job.
Ships dormant and bare root in fall — the planting window that gives roots time to settle before spring. Local pickup available year-round at our Bellevue, WA shop.
🍂 Shipping & planting window
Peonies ship in fall (September–November) when fully dormant and bare root. This is the only window we ship.
Fall planting gives roots a full season to establish in warm soil before winter. Cold stratification triggers strong, healthy spring growth and reliable bloom production. Spring-shipped peonies experience root damage during active growth, transplant shock during their bloom cycle, and often lose an entire growing season.
