I have a question for our peony experts. Several retail catalogs offer something called Paeonia 'Golden Crown'. I've seen this name used in both the US and in the UK. Does anyone know what this is? When I first saw these, I assumed they were the Itoh interdivisional hybrid peony known as 'Yellow Crown'. Maybe they are. On the other hand, it's said that the four Itoh hybrids originally brought to the US are badly confused; maybe 'Golden Crown' is an effort to offer Itoh hybrids without making a commitment about which cultivar is being offered. Or is 'Golden Crown' something else? Any comments would be appreciated.
