Peony 'Coral Sunset'
Peony 'Coral Sunset'
My personal favorite of the various coral-to-apricot toned peonies. These plants are tall, up to 40” or so, and bear very large (6-10”) double blossoms at the top of sturdy stems. Plants have particularly shiny, sturdy foliage that remains decorative all season. Coral Sunset blooms early. I think this variety is superior to ‘Coral Charm’ because each bloom has more petals, and as they age they smell a bit less strong; they also seem to store a little better dry in cold storage. These open bright salmon pink and fade through peach to a pale, delicate apricot. Extremely popular as a cut flower. Plants sprout quite early in spring so it is advisable to plant them in a spot protected from late frosts to ensure best bloom. This is a PREORDER for fall shipping. Your 3-5 eye roots will ship in late October or November, 2025.
These plants are 3-5 eye divisions sourced from Dutch farms through the excellent wholesaler Farmer Bailey Plugs. Shipping to my farm is slated to take place in October, so you will receive your roots after they arrive to me. Most likely you will receive yours sometime in the second half of October to the first half of November. You’ll receive a shipping notification (possibly in a separate thread from your order confirmation email due to the way my shipping system and website work) when your order ships.
Peonies are best planted when dormant in fall or early winter so this timing is perfect. There is a small possibility that some varieties may not come in since these are perishable farm products/living things, or that their arrival to me will be delayed for some reason. If there is any issue with peony roots you have ordered, I will let you know. If your roots do not come in, a refund for the purchase price of the unavailable roots will be issued. If your whole order is unavailable, a full refund for the purchase price plus shipping will be issued as soon as I am aware of the need.
