Bearing a name that perfectly captures its breathtaking evolution, ‘Coral Sunset’ mesmerizes as it transitions from a vibrant coral hue to various shades of peach, culminating in a creamy white color. Each stage of this floral sunset is a work of art, showcasing the bloom’s beauty at every turn, and some may even say that it becomes more exquisite with age. Its sizeable semi-double flowers start off in a vivid salmon shade and then transform into warm salmon-ivory tones as they mature. Setting it apart from other coral varieties, this flower unfurls with a deeply intense coral shade and boasts petals that are distinctly ruffled, adding to its full and lush appearance. Delicately fragrant, this early blooming spring beauty is perfect for cutting, with its 32″ long stems tending to curve gracefully towards the ground when fully open. It’s no surprise that this is an award-winning peony!
Not only is Coral Sunset a beauty, but it is also practical, as it is resistant to deer and rabbits. This peony is an EARLY season bloomer, making it attractive for growers in warmer climates.

Why Choose Peony Coral Sunset?
Peony Coral Sunset offers a stunning blend of warm coral and peach tones, bringing a touch of elegance and warmth to any garden or floral arrangement. Its full blooms, strong fragrance, and vibrant colors make it a favorite for those seeking a flower that evokes the beauty of a summer sunset. Whether as a centerpiece in the garden or in a luxurious bouquet, this peony adds undeniable charm and grace.
PLANTING GUIDE: FALL PLANTING IS BEST AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. These plants are low-maintenance and thrive in full sun to part shade conditions. While they prefer sunny locations, providing some relief from the hot afternoon sun can help prolong the beauty of their blooms. To ensure the best results when planting peonies, it is recommended to enrich the soil with compost. Planting peonies at the correct depth is crucial for optimal flowering, with the peony’s eyes ideally positioned 1 1/2 to 2 inches below the soil level. Peonies are known for their longevity and resilience, often thriving without the need for division. With their striking beauty, amazing fragrance, and easy-care requirements, peonies are a true gem for any garden enthusiast.
HARVESTING/VASE LIFE: For optimal vase life, it is best to harvest peonies when they are in the bud or “soft marshmallow” stage. To determine if they are ready to be picked, gently squeeze each flower bud and feel for sponginess. If the buds are still hard, allow them to ripen longer. However, if they feel soft, like a marshmallow, then it is time to harvest them. When cutting the stems, ensure that at least 2 sets of leaves are left on the stem to allow the plant to continue growing and storing food throughout the summer.
If you wish to store the cut stems for later use, they can be kept in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 weeks. When storing, remove most of the leaves, bunch the stems together, and place them in a plastic bag with a few paper towels to absorb any excess moisture. Lay the stems flat on a shelf in the produce area of the fridge and check them every few days for any signs of mold. Discard any stems that show signs of rot.
When you are ready to use the stored stems, recut the ends and place them in warm water with flower preservative. The buds will open within 24 hours, and the blooms will last for about a week in the vase. Don’t be alarmed if the flowers initially look limp after being stored – they will revive once they are placed in water.
