Paeonia 'Coral Sunset' / Size: #15 pot
herbaceous peony - Paeonia 'Coral Sunset'
'Coral Sunset' is a herbaceous hybrid peony, growing 32" tall, of noted vigor, with lush green foliage that holds up well through the heat of summer. But what is perhaps most notable about 'Coral Sunset' are its luscious, double, ruffled coral flowers--with hints of rose and golden stamens. Introduced in 1965, this peony is a color breakthrough to this day, it was the result of 26 years of breeding work by the late Sam Wissing, who utilized short wave radiation to induce tetraploidy. Owning this plant is like owning a piece of history. Winner of the APS Gold Medal and ALM awards. This peony was propagated from NYBG's own Matelich Anniversary Peony Collection.
