Characteristics

Paeonia ‘Scrumdidleumptious’ doesn’t just bloom—it beams. Its pastel-pink petals unfold in wide, double layers with a sunset-washed glow: peach, blush and cream blended together like soft brushstrokes. Midseason flowering and upright growth make this intersectional both practical and poetic. No side buds, no excess—just one generous, shapely bloom per stem. There’s nothing flimsy here: the name may play, but the flower performs. Since 2002, ‘Scrumdidleumptious’ has stood out not just for its colour, but for its discipline.

Origin Scrumdidleumptious Peony

Bred for a new century but with old-world elegance in mind, ‘Scrumdidleumptious’ emerged at a time when growers were asking for softness with structure. It answered—with substance. Drawing from intersectional breeding lines, it offers the resilience of herbaceous roots with the flowering form of tree peonies. The result? A bloom that feels both airy and assured. It brightens the midseason window with a palette that catches light—and keeps it.

INTERSECTIONAL

As a true intersectional, ‘Scrumdidleumptious’ holds its shape, delivers predictable timing, and grows without drama. The foliage stays clean, the stems stay upright, and the bloom—just one per stem—unfolds with intent. No staking, no fuss, and a visual rhythm that complements both tight rows and loose designs. It’s a variety that doesn’t chase attention but still gets it.
