Peony ‘Coral Charm’

Product Details

The large, semi-double blossoms of Peony ‘Coral Charm’ open from deep coral buds into chalices of smooth coral peach with tints of creamy white toward the centers. As the flowers mature, their overall hue transforms from coral to cream, as well. One of the first Peonies to bloom in the garden, fragrance-free ‘Coral Charm’ is a superior cut flower with strong stems. An American Peony Society Gold Medal Selection and winner of the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit. Introduced in 1964. Early. PP 4,247

Peonies produce their extravagant display in early June every year, regardless of weather, because they are among the most durable and longest-lived plants. They have no natural enemies, no exacting cultural requirements beyond full sun and neutral to slightly sweet soil, and they shrug off cold. After bloom is complete, you are left with a handsome mound of glossy, deep green foliage that will happily anchor the next sequence of bloom in the neighborhood. Finally, Peonies make superior cut flowers, lasting more than a week if cut in full bud.

We ship large roots with 3–5 eyes that are fresh from the growing fields. While a newly planted Peony seldom makes a first-class show in its first season, these vigorous plants will reach the top of their form in their second or third year. Southern gardeners should provide afternoon shade.
