A reliable Itoh peony with soft greenish-yellow single flowers accented by subtle red flares at the base of the petals. The blooms are broad and open, typically 5–6 inches across, and are often produced with side buds that extend the flowering period. Flowers are held on strong, upright stems, rising cleanly above healthy, dark green foliage. Blooming around early to mid lactiflora season. Plants are well built and vigorous, forming a tidy clump that performs consistently once established.

WHY WE LOVE IT: Viking Full Moon is dependable and long flowering, with strong stems and a high bud count. Its soft yellow coloring, extended bloom from side buds, and good garden performance make it a practical and rewarding Itoh to grow.
