Paeonia Pink Hawaiian Coral | 4L Pot

An impressive tuberous perennial, with soft pink to apricot coloured blooms. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: fertile, moisture-retentive yet well-drained Rate of growth: average Flowering period: June to July Hardiness: fully hardy Early in bloom, ‘Pink Hawaiian Coral’ has magnificent, bowl-shaped, coral-pink to soft apricot pink flowers, faintly tinted with cream. This award-winning, sweetly-scented, semi-double flowering Paeonia, emerges from late spring to early summer. With blooms held on sturdy stems, it’s perfect for planting in the border with roses, alliums and other herbaceous perennials or gathered together for a fulsome cut flower display. This paeonia has been field grown, however in order to keep the roots hydrated and promote fresh new growth, we have potted them up. Therefore, your plant may not have a well developed root system just yet, so you should not worry if the soil falls away when you are planting it out. Garden care: Plant out into well-prepared soil as soon as possible, making sure that the highest bud on the crown is no deeper that 5cm below the 5cm below the surface of the soil. When planting, incorporate some well-rotted compost or manure into the planting hole. For best results, deadhead ‘Pink Hawaiian Coral’ after flowering and mulch around the base of the plant annually, with a conditioned organic mulch. In each subsequent spring, apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser around the base of the plant and mulch with well-rotted compost or manure.
