- Showy 6" semi-double blooms in intense coral-rose soften as they age, creating a multi-tone bouquet effect.
- Strong, upright stems support large, bowl-shaped flowers for an unforgettable late-spring display.
- Glossy, dark green dissected foliage stays attractive through summer and into fall for extended garden structure.
- Fast-growing and versatile—ideal in borders or large containers with evenly moist (not soggy) soil.
Cytherea Peony (Paeonia hybrid ‘Cytherea’) is a legendary landscape peony celebrated for its luminous coral-rose blooms and elegant, color-shifting finish. Each large, 6-inch, bowl-shaped semi-double flower opens with intense French-rose tones, then gradually softens to pale peachy pink—so you often enjoy multiple shades on the plant at once. Set on sturdy, upright stems above glossy, dark green foliage that remains handsome well beyond bloom season, this fast-growing peony is a standout for spring borders, cutting gardens, and statement containers. Plant in sun to partial sun, keep soil consistently moist but never waterlogged, and enjoy a reliable, high-impact perennial that returns with increasing beauty year after year.
Plant Description
A classic hybrid peony featuring large, bowl-shaped semi-double flowers on sturdy, upright stems. Glossy, dissected foliage provides season-long structure after bloom.
Flower Color & Seasonal Shift
Blooms open a vivid coral-rose and gradually soften as they mature, creating a blended range from deep French rose to pale peachy pink on the plant at the same time.
Bloom Time
Flowers in late spring to early summer, delivering a bold, early-season focal point for borders and cutting gardens.
Habit & Size
Fast growing; quickly reaches about 2 ft. tall and 2 to 3 ft. wide, forming a substantial clump that fills in nicely over time.
Sun & Exposure
Full sun to partial sun. Provide bright light for best flowering and sturdy stems; a touch of afternoon protection can be helpful in hotter climates.
Watering
Keep soil moist, but not soggy. Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish a strong root system, then reduce frequency once established.
Soil & Planting Tips
Thrives in organically rich, well-drained soil with a neutral pH. Good drainage is essential—avoid locations that stay wet in winter.
Foliage & Garden Interest
Attractive glossy, dark green foliage remains ornamental through summer and fall, adding texture and a clean backdrop for nearby perennials.
Care & Maintenance
Remove spent blooms for a tidy appearance. Prune foliage back in fall. Needs little fertilization; an annual side dressing of organic compost is beneficial.
Cut Flower Use
Excellent for cutting with showy blooms and strong stems. Harvest when buds are plump and showing color for best vase life.
Garden Uses
Use in borders for spring impact or in large containers as a seasonal showpiece. Pairs beautifully with viburnum, phlox, coneflower, hydrangea, catmint, and mock orange for layered bloom and texture.
