Peony 'Catharina Fontijn' – A Fragrant Symphony of Color

Are you looking for a peony that not only enchants the eye but also fills your entire garden or living room with a heavenly aroma? 'Catharina Fontijn' is an absolute classic within the Lactiflora group. This peony is celebrated for its nostalgic beauty and its unique ability to constantly change character throughout its blooming period.

The most striking feature of 'Catharina Fontijn' is its stunning color transformation. The flowers open in a charming shade of "old pink." As the bloom matures, the color elegantly fades through soft blush pink to a sophisticated off-white. Because the flower is fully double and emits an exceptionally deep, pleasant fragrance, it is one of the most beloved varieties for both the cut flower industry and fragrance garden enthusiasts.
