Peony 'Amalia Olson'

Paeonia lactiflora 'Amalia Olson' bears fragrant, full double flowers that open blush pink and gradually turn nearly pure white. Its dark green foliage and medium-height habit frame the rounded blooms, which have excellent substance and last well when cut. ## In the Garden Use Amalia Olson as a long-lived border specimen or grow it where its fragrant blooms can be cut for arrangements. The [American Peony Society registry](https://americanpeonysociety.org/cultivars/peony-registry/amalia-olson/) describes its full double form, pure-white mature color, dark foliage, and lasting cut flowers; an exact-selection grower profile records the blush-to-white color change and fragrance. ## Growing Conditions Give the plant full sun and rich soil, leaving generous room for the mature clump. The RHS recommends planting herbaceous peonies at the correct depth in rich soil with ample light and space; see its [peony growing guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/peony/herbaceous/growing-guide). ## Maintenance Water new plantings during dry spells and avoid repeated disturbance after establishment. Remove dead stems in autumn and apply a light spring mulch as described in the RHS guide.
