Notes
'Cloud Burst' peony (Paeonia 'Cloud Burst') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and loamy soil. The extra large double white flowers are fragrant and sit on strong stems above deep green foliage. Lyman D. Glasscock bred it in 1987. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with White Swan coneflower, August Moon hosta, Bobo hydrangea, and Queen of Night tulip.
