Although 'Colonel Owen Cousins' was introduced over 50 years ago by Couisns and Klehm, it has only recently become known worldwide. The variety is therefore still a rarity, but its unique coloring is impressive. The flowers are bomb-shaped, double and open with a delicate hint of pink and a mixture of cream and white. It flowers early in the season and exudes a light, pleasant fragrance and is also stable at 60-70 cm in height. This form and color so early in the season are still very rare! Probably a cross between Little Dorit and a quadruple hybrid from Saunders. There is no doubt that 'Colonel Owen Cousins' has earned its place in the peony assortment.
