Notes
'Clouds of Olympus' peony (Paeonia 'Clouds of Olympus') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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 light pink, semi-double flowers are fragrant and have frilled guard petals. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Joshua Scholten bred it.
Pairs well with August Moon hosta, White Swan coneflower, and Switchgrass.
