Colonel Owen Cousins — 30 Roots
A premium early white peony for growers who want a distinctive commercial crop, not just another generic white.
Colonel Owen Cousins produces large, full white blooms with the substantial flower form and presence that high-end florists notice immediately. It fills an important role in a commercial peony program: an early-season white with luxury appeal, giving growers valuable white production before many of the later classic whites come into full swing.
For cut-flower farms, timing matters almost as much as color. White is one of the most consistently useful colors in wedding and event work, and an earlier white cultivar helps extend the selling window while giving designers something beyond the standard late-season choices.
Colonel Owen Cousins is especially well suited to growers selling into weddings, event florists, premium farmers markets, and design-focused wholesale accounts.
Why plant a 30-root block?
