Brighten Your Garden with Peony 'Pink Hawaiian Coral'

Peony 'Pink Hawaiian Coral' (Paeonia lactiflora) is a stunning herbaceous perennial prized for its lush, coral-pink double blooms. Originating from the peony family, this variety is celebrated for its large, rounded flowers and sturdy stems—making it a favourite among gardeners and florists alike.

Breathtaking Blooms & Garden Impact

• Eye-Catching Colour: Each plant produces bold, semi-double to double flowers with a unique tropical coral-pink hue that fades gently to soft apricot as the season progresses.
• Seasonal Interest: Expect flowering from late spring through early summer (typically May–June), providing a spectacular display during peak garden season.
• Strong Stems: Upright growth supports heavy blooms without flopping—perfect for cutting and vase displays.

Growing Guide

• Planting Time: Best planted in autumn or early spring when the soil is workable.
• Soil Requirements: Prefers fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH (6.5–7.5).
• Light Needs: Thrives in full sun but tolerates partial shade; at least 6 hours of sunlight daily encourages optimal blooming.

Planting & Care Tips

• Pruning: Cut back stems after foliage dies down in autumn; remove spent blooms to tidy the plant.
• No Special Feeding Needed: Top-dress with compost or a balanced fertiliser in early spring.
