Peony Pink Hawaiian Coral

Yes, the Pink Hawaiian Coral peony is excellent for cutting. Its large, fragrant flowers last a long time in a vase and are very decorative. Cut them at the soft bud stage so they can fully open in the vase.

Yes, this is a very hardy perennial. Its frost resistance reaches down to -34 °C (zone 4a). However, if you are planting it late in the autumn, it is advisable to cover it with evergreen boughs for the first winter. Be careful of late spring frosts – sprouted flower buds can only withstand about -3 °C, so if frost is forecast, cover them with garden fleece.

This variety is known for its variability. It blooms in a stunning coral shade, which gradually changes to pale pink as it flowers. Unlike other coral peonies, it avoids orange undertones in the later stages of blooming. The flowers are semi-double and reach a size of 15 to 20 cm.

Yes, peonies are poisonous plants. If parts of the plant (especially the roots or seeds) are ingested, they can cause nausea and health issues. We recommend planting them out of the immediate reach of small children and pets that might chew on them.

The 'Pink Hawaiian Coral' peony loves the sun. For prolific blooming, it needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Although it can tolerate partial shade, it performs best in full sun. It is also important to give it enough space (approx. 1 m²) and not to plant it in close proximity to shrubs, hedges, or other aggressive perennials that would compete with it.

The ideal soil is permeable, loamy, and humus-rich, packed with nutrients. The soil should retain an appropriate amount of moisture well, but it must not be waterlogged. In heavy, clay soils where water stands, peonies suffer and can rot.

The 'Pink Hawaiian Coral' peony loves the sun. For abundant flowering, it needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Although it can tolerate partial shade, it thrives best in full sun. It is also important to give it plenty of space (approx. 1 m²) and not to plant it in close proximity to shrubs, hedges, or other aggressive perennials that would compete with it.

Growing a peony in a container is not ideal because it has a massive and deep root system that requires space. In a pot, the plant often suffers, blooms poorly, and is more susceptible to root frost. If you have no other choice, choose a very large and deep container (min. 50 cm in diameter and depth), ensure perfect drainage, and insulate the container for the winter. However, for the plant's long-term well-being, open soil in the garden is best.

The ideal soil is permeable, loamy, and rich in humus, with plenty of nutrients. The soil should hold moisture well but must not be waterlogged. In heavy, clay-like soil where water pools, peonies suffer and can rot.

Peonies do not like their roots to be disturbed and grow best if left in one spot for many years. If transplanting is necessary, do it between September and October. When doing so, you can divide older clumps, ensuring each part has 3 to 7 buds.

Yes, Pink Hawaiian Coral is an herbaceous peony with large, heavy flowers. To prevent the stems from breaking under the weight of the blooms (or after rain) or lying on the ground, it is necessary to provide the plant with a sturdy circular support.

During the season, regularly remove faded flowers so the plant does not exhaust itself by producing seeds. At the end of autumn, when the above-ground part of the plant dies back, you can remove the dried leaves near the ground. In the first few years after planting, it is also recommended to pinch off lateral buds to help the plant grow stronger.

In the spring, it is advisable to use an organic fertilizer rich in potassium to support flowering. Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilization, which could increase susceptibility to fungal diseases. In the autumn, you can spread a thin layer of well-matured compost around the plant as nourishment for the next season.

You should not delay planting so that the roots do not dry out too much. Proper planting depth is key – the plants must not be 'drowned'. Plant them so that after watering and soil settlement, the buds are just slightly poking above the surface or at most 2–3 cm below ground. The planting hole should be twice as wide and deep as the root system itself.

Watering is critical primarily for newly planted specimens during their first spring and during periods of drought. Once a peony is established and becomes a mature plant, it is quite hardy. It will then appreciate watering mainly in the event of a very dry spring and early summer before blooming. After flowering, it tolerates summer droughts well.

You should not delay planting, so that the roots do not dry out too much. Potted peonies can be planted from spring to autumn. The correct planting depth is key – the plants must not be 'drowned'. Plant them so that after watering and the soil has settled, the buds are just slightly poking above the surface or are at most 2–3 cm underground. The planting hole should be twice as wide and deep as the root ball itself.

Watering is critical primarily for newly planted specimens during their first spring and during dry spells. Once a peony is established and becomes a mature plant, it is quite hardy. Watering is then most appreciated during a very dry spring and in early summer before flowering. After blooming, it handles summer droughts well.

During the season, regularly remove faded flowers so the plant does not exhaust itself by producing seeds. In late autumn, when the above-ground part of the plant dies back, you can remove the withered leaves near the ground. In the first years after planting, it is also recommended to pinch off side buds so the plant becomes stronger.

Yes, 'Pink Hawaiian Coral' is a herbaceous peony with large, heavy blooms. To prevent the stems from breaking or collapsing to the ground under the weight of the flowers (or after rain), it is necessary to provide the plant with a sturdy circular support.

In the spring, it is advisable to use an organic fertilizer rich in potassium to support flowering. Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilization, which can increase susceptibility to fungal diseases. In the autumn, you can spread a thin layer of mature compost around the plant as nourishment for the following season.

Peonies do not like their roots to be disturbed and grow best if left in one place for many years. If transplanting is necessary, do it from September to October. You can divide older clumps at this time, ensuring each part has 3 to 7 buds.

The most common issue can be grey mold (Botrytis cinerea), which attacks both leaves and buds. Prevention involves ensuring sufficient spacing between plants for airflow and avoiding over-fertilization with nitrogen. Remove affected plant parts immediately and discard them in the general waste (do not add them to your compost).

The most common problem is grey mold (Botrytis cinerea), which attacks leaves and buds. Prevention includes ensuring sufficient spacing between plants for airflow and avoiding over-fertilization with nitrogen. Immediately remove any infected plant parts and dispose of them in municipal waste (not on the compost).

The most common reason is planting too deeply. If the buds are deeper than 3 cm below the surface, the peony will grow but will not bloom. Another reason may be the youth of the plant – peonies are perennials for the patient, and they reach their full beauty only after several years. Blooming in the first year is the exception rather than the rule. A lack of sun can also limit flower production.
