Catharina Fontijn Peony

It is only January, but the pair of roots that I received are already cresting to the surface. I planted the roots that I received in grow bags and it was not much than a month later before the tips of new stems started to appear. I've been exposing them to lower temps in the hope that I can get their grow arrested.

Regardless, this peony appears to be a very vigorous grower. I've also been told that this can be a consequence of the roots having been refrigerated for several weeks (the plant thinks that winter is over), but winter has been mild so far and I think this is part of it.

Pleasantly surprised at tuber quality at such a bargain price! Plump, firm, with 4 lovely pink 'eyes'.

I got this when the site was on sale. It was very cheap compared to other sites for the same variety. They were all in the ground now. Let see how these perform in 2 years.

I am pleasantly surprised with the quality of the products ordered from Tulip World. My peonies arrived fast, well packaged and in good shape. Tubers were large and with minimum 2 eyes each. The prices were affordable and I will be ordering more in the future. Thank you!
