Peony Catharina Fontijn

Paeonia Catharina Fontijn is a captivating herbaceous peony that enchants gardeners with its timeless beauty and stunning floral display. This peony cultivar is named after Catharina Fontijn, a Dutch woman who played a significant role in the development of peony breeding in the Netherlands.

With its large, semi-double blooms in shades of soft pink and creamy white, Catharina Fontijn is a true work of art. The petals have a delicate texture and a subtle blush that spreads from the center of the flower, creating an ethereal effect that looks almost as if it was hand-painted.

One of the most remarkable features of this peony is the striking contrast between the petals and the deep red stigmas that protrude from the center of the flower, creating an eye-catching focal point that draws the eye and captures the heart.

Catharina Fontijn's rich history and exquisite beauty make it a treasured cultivar in the world of peony enthusiasts. It is a testament to the passion and dedication of the Dutch hybridizers, who have established the Netherlands as a global leader in peony breeding.

At Natchez Glen House, we have a deep respect for the history and legacy of peony cultivation, and we are proud to grow and showcase Catharina Fontijn in our gardens. Its beauty and elegance are a testament to the rich history of peony cultivation, and we invite all gardeners to discover the magic and wonder of this stunning peony cultivar.
