Bartzella Peony – True Yellow Itoh with Giant, Fragrant Blooms
Large roots with at least 3-5 eyes ship mid November
'Bartzella' isn’t just a standout—it's a landscape showstopper. This Itoh (intersectional) peony boasts huge, lemon-yellow blooms with a soft red flare at the center and white-tipped carpels, adding dimension to an already radiant flower. Blooming in the late midseason, Bartzella delivers a bold pop of color right when most spring bloomers start to fade.
Expect flowers ranging from semi-double to fully double, with opulently ruffled petals and a pleasant, spicy fragrance. At 34 inches tall, this peony grows on a sturdy, bushy plant with deeply cut, dark green foliage that stays attractive through the season—no staking required.

Grow & Care
Grow & Care
Peonies are long-lived plants that can thrive for a century or more. The root system of a peony is not only large, it's also quite different from that of most other perennials. Peonies have two types of roots. Fine, fibrous ones that absorb water and nutrients, and tuberous roots that are as thick your finger and very brittle. The thick ones are actually underground stems with “eyes” that sprout new shoots.
Planting:
Since some of a peony’s roots are actually underground stems, it’s important not to plant them too deeply. There should be no more than about an inch of soil covering the upper-most roots. If they are deeper than that, you will get a robust plant, but very few flowers.
During the first growing season, the soil will gradually settle around the newly-planted roots. Sometimes this results in the roots sitting deeper than intended. If this happens, gently lift the roots so they are at the correct level. If you decide to mulch the area, keep the root zone right under the plant bare. Dig hole at least twice the width of your roots to reduce soil compaction.
Care:
Once your peony plants mature, you can cut as many stems as you like. But during the first few years, it’s best to cut just few stems and let the plants retain as much of their foliage as possible. This will give them the maximum amount of energy to bulk up their root system.
When the plants finish blooming, use scissors or sharp pruning shears to cut off the dead blossoms. Try to do this before the seed pods form. Remove the flower as well as about 6” of the stem. This will allow the rest of the foliage to hide the cut stems.
