Notes
'Olive Branch' peony (Paeonia 'Olive Branch') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and perennial beds. 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 ruffled flowers open lime-green yellow and fade to bright yellow outside, and the stems need no support. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Golden Tiara hosta, Carnaval De Nice tulip, and Christmas fern.
