Double yellow

Paeonia Garden Candy® Golden Ticket

The purest yellow with consistently double 4" flowers.

Cause I got a golden ticket, I've got a golden twinkle In my eye. This Golden Ticket was the favorite, most consistent yellow in Don Smith's collection. Unlike other yellows on the market, Golden Ticket has fully double, lemon-yellow flowers held tight to the plant, making a stunning, consistent display. You too can be a lucky winner with this lovely selection in your garden. It’s your ticket to beauty! As with all Garden Candy® ITOHS, Golden Ticket is deer and mildew-resistant and has three lovely seasons of interest with its maroon fall color and clean summer foliage.

Please note: We don't sell plants. Asking your local retailer or googling the plant name is the easiest way to find someone selling our plants.
