Paeonia Garden Candy® Oompa Loompa
Creamy orange
Oompa Loompa doompety-do, we have another ITOH for you. If you love to have orange flowers in your garden, this is the perfect plant! Creamy orange, double flowers are so beautiful, they look like porcelain flowers, or the faces of sweet Oompa Loompas. The deep olive green leaves make the perfect backdrop for the stunning summer display, and quite frankly remind the grass green hair of the Oompa Loompas in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. This stunning selection is deer and mildew-resistant, blooms consistently, and has a lovely maroon fall color, providing ample interest in any garden.
