<i>Paeonia lactiflora</i> 'Coral Charm' | Coral Charm Peony
DESCRIPTION
Paeonia lactiflora 'Coral Charm' is an elegant peony variety celebrated for its large, semi-double blooms in a unique coral-pink hue. Flowering in late spring to early summer, the blossoms open in a vibrant coral shade and gradually fade to a softer peachy-pink as they mature. The flowers feature a prominent yellow center that adds contrast and brightness to the lush, ruffled petals.
Originating from hybridization efforts aimed at creating more diverse peony colors, 'Coral Charm' is highly regarded for its striking, warm-toned blooms and reliable performance in the garden. Its long-lasting flowers make it a favorite for cut arrangements, and its bold color makes a statement in borders, cottage gardens, and perennial beds.
