Origin Coral Charm Peony

The „Coral Charm” peony is a cross between the common garden peony (Paeonia lactiflora) and the less common species Paeonia officinalis. After years of selective breeding and experimentation, the breeder, Samuel Wissing of Wissing Nursery in Ohio, United States, introduced Coral Charm Peony in 1964.
„Coral Charm” peonies are well-known for their large, vivid coral-pink flowers, which bloom from late spring to early summer. The flowers begin as dark coral buds and grow into large, fragrant semi-double blooms that fade to a softer, lighter pink over time.
This magnificent peony has become a popular garden plant since its introduction and is widely grown and sold by nurseries and florists all over the world. It has received numerous awards for its beauty and is regarded as a valuable addition to any garden or floral arrangement.
