Notes
'Coral Charm' peony (Paeonia 'Coral Charm') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Fragrant coral-pink blooms age to cream and attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Samuel E. Wissing bred it.
Pairs well with Stargazer lily, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Annabelle hydrangea.
