Notes
'Pink Hawaiian Coral' peony (Paeonia 'Pink Hawaiian Coral') 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. The fragrant, semi-double coral pink blooms have golden stamens, and bees and butterflies visit them. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. The strong stems hold the flowers up well.
Pairs well with Sum and Substance hosta, Stargazer lily, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
