Peony 'Cytherea', 'Cytherea' Peony, Pink Peonies
A fabulous Lobata hybrid peony, award-winner Peony ‘Cytherea’ is one of the most sought-after peonies! Imagine large, semi-double, lotus-shaped blossoms full of intense cherry rose petals, strongly cupped, and delicately fading to peachy pink as they age. Irresistible! Perfectly formed, they are borne in profusion on strong, erect stems and do not need staking. No side buds.
Peonies are a classic ingredient of the perennial border and have been in cultivation for over 2000 years. Beloved for their abundant blooms, the beauty of their exquisite flowers, their delightful fragrance, and their bold foliage changing shades over the seasons, peony flowers add a dazzling splash of color to the late spring and early summer garden. Virtually carefree once established, they live for generations, are deer proof, and produce some of the best cut flowers – making them one of Nature’s loveliest perennials! Peony bouquets are a favorite of florists and many brides-to-be. Why not enjoy a peony bouquet at home?
