Smith (2002)
Yankee Doodle Dandy is a special Itoh Hybrid with colors ranging from dark to light pink and semi-filled flowers. You don’t see this beautiful color very often at peonies, because this is only possible with Intersectionals. This is therefore one of the better Intersectionals. With softly scented flowers, up to 20 cm in size and dark crop, Yankee Doodle Dandy is recommended for gardens and parks all around the world. Every year older the plant produces more flowers which are also more double. Yankee Doodle Dandy gives many flowers in the mid late season. Until the upcoming frost in the late autumn, the green foliage will change in beautiful Indian Summer colors.
