Description: There are many orangey, peachy, yellow blends amongst the Itoh group, and Scrumdiddleyumptious is one of my favourites for its flowers that are fuller in form. While we often expect semi-double flowers with the Itohs, this cultivar is capable of producing loose doubles when mature and well grown. The large flowers progress in such a way that a distinct pink picotee patter appears on the out margin of petals, making for quite a striking flower. Strong, rigid stems hold the flower upright under all conditions, as expected of an intersectional peony. Side buds extend the blooming period.
