Peony coral (coral)

Seed planting

Most gardeners do not use seeds to propagate Paeonia Pink Hawaiian Coral. Seedlings obtained after seed germination do not have the qualities that the parent plants are endowed with. But if, nevertheless, the task is to grow a seedling from seeds bearing a beautiful name, consonant with the Pacific coral island, then first you need to purchase high-quality seeds of these peonies and check their germination.

Then the seeds are treated with a fungicide or a simple pale pink potassium permanganate, washed in running water, dried and placed in flower pots with a soil substrate of neutral acidity, deepening by 5 cm.This is done in August-September, about 30 days before the onset of cold weather. Pots for the winter are added in the garden. The seeds need to stay in the cold, preferably under snow or under mulch, for at least 2 months. In the spring, with the onset of warmth, the peony seeds should germinate.

Note! In the fall, seedlings are transplanted from flower pots to a flower bed

The use of peony in landscape design

Pink Hawaii Coral peony is quite tall and has large, abundant flowers. It is necessary to carefully choose a place for its placement and think over the neighborhood. To decorate the territory, plants are planted in groups.

By combining Pink Hawaiian Coral Peony with other varieties, you can achieve long flowering. During this period, he will add volume and splendor to the flower arrangement.

Peony Care Etched Salmon

If the plant is planted correctly, then there is almost no need to care for it. By and large, this is a plant that will survive without leaving. But for a highly decorative culture, some events are still held.

Watering

For a herbaceous peony, three mandatory watering is enough:

• Immediately after the snow melts, the earth is shed with 1% potassium permanganate. The goal is not hydration, but the awakening of the kidneys. At the same time, the soil is disinfected.
• At the end of June, the procedure is carried out to form renewal buds for growth and flowering next year.
• Before the fall. Watering stimulates the peony to grow adventitious roots.

These moisture should not be the standard 10 liters per bush, but much more abundant - 2-3 buckets per plant.

Maintenance irrigation is not prohibited during the summer. You can even set up drip irrigation. The main thing is not to flood the plant - the roots are sensitive to excess moisture, they can rot.

Fertilizers

The supply of nutrients in the soil is replenished with organic and inorganic preparations.

In the first 2 years, the plant does not need to be fed - it has enough nutrition, which was laid in the hole during planting. Further, they adhere to the standard scheme:

• In the spring, nitrogen compounds are used for rapid growth of shoots and growth of leaves.
• At the time of budding, they are watered with mineral fertilizers.
• At the peak of flowering, paeonia Etched Salmon is supported with phosphorus-potassium solutions.

The beauty of the inflorescences helps to preserve and increase foliar spraying with growth regulators once a month.

Weeding, mulching

Loosening the soil with the removal of weeds is a mandatory agrotechnical measure. The weeds take the nutrient required for the plant. Loosening will allow air to penetrate more freely to the roots, which need oxygen.

Weed the earth after watering so that the top layer does not grab a crust. Then they mulch.

A thick layer (10 cm) of mulch is poured in the fall before wintering. The stems are cut, the planting is covered with sawdust, peat, humus. This will be enough for the successful wintering of the plant.

Attention! If the winters in the region are harsh, the top is covered with non-woven material.

Peony does not bloom, what to do

The reasons that there are greens, and the buds are not tied, lie at the planting site. A dense shade, close proximity to fruit trees oppress the plant.

Water leaves poorly, the roots are wet all the time - this is also the reason why the peony will not bloom. Groundwater adversely affects flower growth. It should be transplanted to a sunny, ventilated place.

After flowering, the bush remains a decoration of the garden. It does not need care, it is enough to cut off the faded heads.

Peony Coral Charm (Paeonia coral charm)

The history of the emergence of the Coral group of peonies is associated with the names of two scientists - Arthur Sanders and Sam Wissing. If the first managed to get specimens with salmon and coral shades of inflorescences, then the second went further and created a whole group of such varieties, which included the Coral charm peony.

The color of the petals varies from coral to milky

Attention! The group of coral peonies includes varieties not only with a coral shade of inflorescences, but also other flowers

Description of the plant

Peony Coral charm is a compact herb with a height of 0.8-1.1 meters. Shoots are well developed, erect. Leaves of a typical form for peonies are trifoliate with veins. The color of the leaf plate is dark green, the surface is glossy.

The main attraction of the variety is in the color and shape of the inflorescences. They are quite large - 16-21 cm in diameter. They are bowl-shaped and semi-double in shape. The color of the petals during the bud dissolving changes from dark coral to light salmon.

On the eve of wilting, the petals may acquire a milky hue and become white around the edge. This was the reason for the appearance of the name "peony lactic-flowered Coral charm". The middle of the flower is filled with small yellow stamens. In June, active flowering begins and during this period the plant spreads a fascinating aroma.

It is interesting! In some Russian catalogs, the plant is named incorrectly - you can find such names: herbaceous peony Coral charm or even coral charm peony.

Advantages and disadvantages

Coral Sharm is almost perfect. It has a lot of advantages, which include:

• cold resistance;
• beauty and aroma of inflorescences;
• ease of reproduction;
• long and abundant flowering;
• good disease resistance;
• moderation in care.

The disadvantages include the following points:

• exactingness to the ground;
• the need for regular feeding.

These factors can hardly be called the disadvantages of this variety. All varietal peonies have similar qualities. In addition, proper site preparation and planting care will completely eliminate them.

Use in landscape design

Peonies are widely used in landscape design, not only due to the beauty of the inflorescences, but also due to the preservation of decorativeness until frost.

These perennials are often included in continuous flowering compositions, used to create low hedges and borders. It is good to plant peonies in the foreground in the rose garden - this allows you to extend the decorative period of the composition and decorate the bare shoots of tall varieties of roses.

How to Plant Pink Hawaii Coral Peony

August is best suited for transplanting or rooting cuttings, although some gardeners also practice transplanting herbaceous peonies in spring. The growing area for Paeonia Pink Hawaiian Coral should be fertile land, prepared in advance for planting root cuttings.

Important! Peony Coral Pink should not grow in dense shade. Even shrubs planted in partial shade will not be decorated with the number of buds that Paeonia Pink Hawaiian Coral will form in the sun. In addition to bright sunlight, the plant needs loamy soil, into which organic fertilizers are applied during autumn planting - rotted manure, humus, vermicompost

Nothing should grow on the selected site in the summer

In addition to bright sunlight, the plant needs loamy soil, into which organic fertilizers are applied during autumn planting - rotted manure, humus, vermicompost. Nothing should grow on the selected site in the summer.

A week before planting, you can start preparing the planting pit. Its size should not be too large, a depth of about 40-50 cm is enough, a width of 60 cm. 3-4 st. tablespoons of superphosphate and 1 glass of wood ash, sprinkle on top with a layer of garden soil removed from the same pit. Two days before planting the cuttings, the pit is filled with water with any fungicide dissolved in it. After the soil subsides, a small layer of dry earth is poured again.

Note! Clay and black soil must be added to sandy soil, sand and peat to clay soil.

Planting pit for peony

Landing

On a bush intended for transplanting or for dividing into cuttings, all stems are shortened to a height of 10-15 cm. The peony bush extracted from the soil is left to dry the soil. The dried earth is removed, the rhizome is cut into pieces with a sharp garden knife. Each should have at least 3 growth buds. All parts of the roots must be healthy, free from rot or damage by insects or rodents.

The strips are immersed in a solution of any growth stimulator for 2-3 hours. For the early rooting of peonies, gardeners often use heteroauxin, root, epin, zircon that have been proven over the years. Then the pieces of rhizome should dry out for several hours. After that, you can start planting. Delenki are laid in a pit at an angle and covered with earth.

Important! Growth buds cannot be buried in the soil. Peony bushes do not tolerate swampy and waterlogged areas; on such lands, flowers quickly die from root rot. Peony bushes do not tolerate swampy and waterlogged areas; on such lands, flowers quickly die from root rot

Discussion of ordering plants from "Compound"

I constantly buy peonies in the Compound. There has never been a change yet.

I take almost everything from the Compound. Excellent hydrangeas, beyond comments rhododendrons.By the way, in Hachman there is the University of Helsinki, a very winter-hardy deciduous rhododendron, up to - 40.

Write whatever you see. And then we'll figure it out - what we get.

Meillian roses OKS have very high chances! Keep an eye on them. Still, 5 pieces per variety is not that much. We already have 5 varieties about to close. And this is already 25 pieces. Tantau - there are 10 pieces per variety, so the company should be looked for more intensively.

Hachman has ordered 34 pots out of the required 100 so far.

In general, you should hurry up with the lists. Some items from the retail price list disappear. This is a kind of signal that the wholesalers have already booked the volume of plants that was promised to this company. As soon as the minimum wage for any of the prices is dialed, I send it all to the Compound.

I have neither a wallet nor a garden made of rubber, but I want everything, but I still have to choose. And there is no time. While I rush about in peonies. While in coral. If anyone else is dashing around, here's a comparison of the Coral charm, Coral Supreme, Coral Sunset and Coral and Gold coral peonies. Taken from here, from a Canadian site (sorry for the quality of the translation, I am writing in a hurry):

Coral Sunset, ’‘ Coral Charm, ’‘ Coral and Gold ’and‘ Coral Supreme ’were all grown in similar conditions, next to each other. ALL coral peonies fade noticeably to cream.

Coral Sunset - A slightly darker pink than 'Coral Charm' semi-double 'Coral Sunset' with very weak stems, although I have seen this straight-stemmed variety on lower plants in general. I have them fall to the ground at the same speed as the heaviest of the terry peonies.

Coral Charm - Flowers open a few days later than other coral peonies. Here the 'Coral Charm' grows significantly taller than other coral under the same conditions. The stems are very straight, semi-double flowers have a beautiful lotus shape with cup-shaped petals + the plant is powerful and blooms willingly. Blooms exactly a few days after the ‘Coral Supreme.’

Coral and Gold - This variety has a unique dark coral simple flower with beautiful stamens and perfect bowl shape. Surprisingly, this simple-flowered variety, growing between 'Coral Supreme' and 'Coral Charm' under the same conditions, has stems that tilt to the ground. The flowers are especially short-lived; the petals fall off shortly after opening.

Coral Supreme - Blooms a few days earlier than Coral Charm, 'taller by 10 cm and somewhat fuller, and slightly darker, and these are precisely the qualities that make it the king of coral. Truth.

Among these 4 coral peonies, I would recommend the 'Coral Supreme' as the best, and the 'Coral Charm' as a very close second place, especially if you like peonies on tall stems.

7 perfect varieties for a bridal bouquet

Peony season is in full swing, and rave customer reviews are coming in more and more.

Quote from Oksana_Lyutova's post PEONY: VARIETIES OF CORAL SHADES

The classic color scheme of peonies has been replaced by the fashion for "coral" varieties. They can seduce not only Klara: they are unusual, beautiful, saturated with the positive energy of summer and that is why we, the inhabitants of the north, like them so much.

Collectors were very enthusiastic about the appearance of bright and unusual peonies with coral coloration. For the first time the term "coral" began to be used to describe the color of interspecific hybrids - ‘Coralie’, ‘Cytherea’, created by the outstanding breeder of the XX century, Professor Arthur Sanders (USA). Of course, the expression "coral color" does not indicate a strictly defined shade, as well as "cherry" or "crimson". Coral is a mixture of bright pink and light orange tones in varying proportions. In the 60s of the XX century, a new page was opened in the selection of varieties with coral coloration. The most fruitful results were achieved by Sam Wissing (USA) and Lyman Cousins ​​(Canada).

Sam Wissing is known to be an amateur, like most American breeders, and experimented with breeding new varieties using X-rays and mutagenic chemicals. The first of his famous coral series was the 'Coral Charm'. The flower is huge, dark coral, at the beginning of flowering with orange saturation, the leaves are medium-sized, shiny, dark green. The 'Coral Sunset' (the most attractive and valued in Wissing's coral series) and the 'Coral Supreme' were the sequel to the 'Coral Sunset', created in the 80s. ‘Coral Sunset’ is close to ‘Coral Charm’, but with a brighter color and slightly lower in height, has a fragrance and blooms 5-7 days earlier. The ‘Coral Supreme’ is more terry, with a lighter salmon tone. Not lower in height than Coral Charm, but blooms a week earlier.

Lyman Cousins, also an amateur, famous breeder of irises and peonies. The varieties created by him are extremely appreciated by our collectors: ‘Etched Salmon’ - a graceful shape - the trademark of this variety, ‘Glowing Raspberry Rose’, ‘Ann Berry Cousins’. Among other coral varieties, the works of Klehm's Song Sparrow (USA) are interesting: ‘Pink Hawaiian Coral’, ‘Coral Magic’ and ‘Charismatic’. All varieties have upright bushes, very decorative

On cloudy days, with fog, in the evening, coral peonies attract special attention, glowing with an inner light. Many varieties received gold medals from the American Peony Society (APS) and became champions of the annual peony shows of the Moscow Flower Club (‘Etched Salmon’)

Unfortunately, the bright coral coloration of most varieties is short-lived in bright sunlight. The brightest in the bud and at the beginning of dissolution, it gradually changes, turning pale at the end of flowering to a fawn, cream, baked milk color. But at the same time, at all stages, the flowers retain their shape and remain attractive. Sometimes on one bush you can simultaneously observe the whole range of colors: from bright coral to fawn. Coral varieties can be planted in a shaded place, but there they are prone to stretching - the stems become weaker, they can deviate, fall. When growing peonies in open areas, you need to consider protection from midday rays.

Many well-known coral varieties develop well in the middle lane and are quite suitable for our climatic conditions. They have experienced periods of snowlessness with severe frosts and a number of hot and dry seasons.

Planting rules are the same as for other herbaceous hybrid peonies.

Pay attention to the acidity of the soil - the reaction must be slightly alkaline (pH not less than 7.5). Dolomite (limestone) flour or ash is used as a deoxidizer, about 200 g per 1 sq.

m. When planting a fairly large cut, the plants begin to bloom already in the second year, and by the fourth year they become very decorative. These varieties can grow without transplanting for 8-10 years, after which the bushes must be divided and planted in a new place.
