- About Capital Dome
Capital Dome is a classic, bomb-shaped Peony introduced in 1979 by Myron Bigger. Its huge, fully double blooms measure about 10″ across and are creamy white with a faint yellow base. A soft fragrance rises from the lush petals, and the flowers appear in mid-spring on sturdy 36″ stems with glossy green foliage. Hardy in Zones 3–8, Capital Dome is popular for its showy blooms and works beautifully in cut arrangements. This hard-to-find variety has limited quantities.
Capital Dome is sold as one root with 3-5 eyes.
