Coral Charm peony brings a fascinating merge of warms shades of peach pink, apricot orange and golden yellow colour. It produces semi-double flowers on 60-70 cm tall stems. Each flower centre is decorated with numerous yellow stamens. Coral Charm is very early and under optimum conditions may start blooming already in mid May. Deciduous leaves are mid green, divided, and emerge burgundy red in early spring. This peony was bred by Roy Klehm from Illinois, USA, after 20 years of breeding. It was introduced in 1978 and 8 years later awarded with a gold medal by the American Peony Society.
These peonies are great plants not only for perennial beds and borders, they also look very elegant combined with shrubs and trees to soften their woody structures. They also make beautiful cut flowers, though, they never last more than a week. They are one of the easiest perennials to grow – just make sure you don’t put them too deep and you won’t have a trouble with them - they can take almost any kind of weather caprice and full neglect. Peonies are long-lived plants, there can be found some 100 years old specimens in royal gardens and arboretums.
Peonies need fertile, well-drained, preferably moist soil. If you want to be really nice to them water them freely on hot and dry days and feed them annually after they roll up foliage completely for profusion of flowers and healthy appearance. Still, this extra care is not required, once established they will grow without help. They don’t like transplanting. If you need to reduce the clump size, remove the unwanted part leaving the rest of the rhizomes in soil, untouched. Fully hardy to about -34°C (USDA zone 4).
