‘Yankee Doodle Dandy’ brings bold color and classic elegance to the garden! This semi-double to double Itoh hybrid features 6″ rose-type blooms in deep pink with cream undertones, accented by dramatic dark plum flares and golden centers. The intense hues mellow beautifully as the flowers mature. Glossy dark green foliage and a pleasant fragrance add to its charm.
Easily grown in rich, fertile, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Add compost as needed before planting. Remove spent flowers after bloom. Cut foliage to the ground and remove from the garden in fall after frost. Plants are long-lived, but do not need to be divided and can be left undisturbed for years.
