Notes

'Coralba' peony (Paeonia 'Coralba') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and perennial beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and loamy soil. The fragrant, tulip-type flowers are coral pink with a cream center and sit on strong stems up to 30 inches tall. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Maurice Ménard bred it, and the blooms attract bees and butterflies.

Pairs well with Fire and Ice hosta, Spiked speedwell, Little Beauty tulip, and Christmas fern.
