Changing colours
While Athena peonies are still young, they show their magnificent copper colour. In that phase, the two colours of Athena are still merging. Upon opening, the leaves are off-white with beautiful red accents.
Early bloom
Just as many other single-flowered peonies, Athena blooms very early in the season.
Origin
Athena is a quadruple crossing that was brought to life in 1955 by Prof. A. P. Saunders.
