Paeonia lactiflora 'Coral Charm'

While peonies have been a welcome element in American landscapes for more than 150 years, varieties with peach and coral blooms are relatively new, having arrived on the scene in the 1960s. Coral Charm was one of the first, a semi double flower with an antique rose form, that opens a rich coral apricot and matures to a soft luminescent peach. These peonies are tall plants, very vigorous and are excellent for cutting. Why Grow Peonies?
