Beautiful and hardy, the Coral Sunset Peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Coral Sunset') perennial is a garden favorite for its abundant coral blossoms and fragrant, fragrant summertime foliage.
Typically blooming from late spring into early summer, this peony captivates gardeners in hardiness zones 3–8 with its enormous, semi-double flowers that change color from vivid coral to a gentle apricot-yellow as they age. The gorgeous, deep-green foliage of the Coral Sunset Peony complements the show-stopping blossoms and stays beautiful all summer long. The delicate aroma wafting from its blossoms fills the air of the garden.
With a height of only 24 to 30 inches, this dwarf variety is perfect for tiny gardens, borders, pots, or accent plants in landscape designs. It is an excellent option for outdoor environments. A Coral Sunset Peony's strong stems seldom need support or regular trimming, and the plant itself is very low-maintenance and trouble-free, which adds to its high value.
Once planted, it thrives in even the driest conditions and continues to look lovely year after year. Not only that, Coral Sunset Peony isn't harmful to pets, it can ward against deer, and it brings in pollinators that are good for the garden.
Plant on soil that drains well and has compost added to it. Make sure the crown is no more than 2 inches below the soil surface. Plant in full sun to partial shade for best results. In the initial growing season, water frequently; when the plant has established itself, water less frequently. Mulch the area around the base to keep it moist and prevent weeds. Make sure to apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer every spring. In late fall, cut back foliage to ground level and remove wasted blossoms quickly to promote strong growth. Follow these easy-to-follow care instructions, and your Coral Sunset Peony will bloom profusely year after year with timeless beauty.
