Cytherea is an incredibly stunning peony, one that will truly shine in a bouquet. The buds are enormous, brightly coloured and look just like poppies on steroids while blooming. The open centre is filled with yellow stamens and reminds us of wonderful summer day.
You might expect the huge buds of Cytherea to bloom into gigantic flowers, but – as the saying goes – appearances can be deceiving. Unlike other large hybrids, like Coral Sunset , Cytherea isn’t double-flowered, but single-flowered.
Cytherea is a single-flowered peony with bright pink petals that contrast nicely with the yellow stamens. The buds and stems of Cytherea look just like those of Coral Sunset. Cytherea is less plump though and lacks the unique colour transformation of Coral Sunset.
Cytherea was registered in 1953 by Saunders. It was awarded the coveted APS Gold Medal in 1980. Despite this recognition, sales figures aren’t spectacular. That’s a shame, because the lovely Cytherea deserves a lot better!
Tip
Single-flowered peony varieties are ideal for bouquets, due to their open centres and visible seeds, and the radiant Cytherea is no exception. Looking for a nice bouquet? Combine this wonderful peony with the Astrantia, the yellow Gloriosa and the blue Delphinium and get that summer feeling!

Cythera , Modern Greek Kíthira , island, southernmost and easternmost of the Ionian Islands, off the southern Peloponnesus (Pelopónnisos). It is an eparkhía (eparchy) of Attiki nomós (department), Greece . A continuation of the Taiyetos Range, the island has a mountainous interior, rising to 1,663 feet (507 metres). The capital, Kíthira (or Khóra), is on the southern coast.
Exportation of murex, a purple dye obtained from a species of mollusk, was responsible for the island’s ancient name, Porphyrusa (Greek porphyra , “purple”); but a lack of natural harbours precluded the island from gaining political importance. Cythera was also noted in ancient times for its local cult of Aphrodite . As a Spartan outpost the island was subdued (424 bc ) by Athens during the Peloponnesian War . After the Fourth Crusade (1204) it was subjected to frequent incursions; in 1537 the island’s inhabitants were sold into slavery. In 1717 Venice took over the island, renaming it Cerigo. Thereafter its history is largely that of the Ionian Islands . The island produces small amounts of wheat, barley, grapes, olives, and olive oil . There are daily flights to Athens from the island.
