Paeonia lactiflora 'Coral Supreme'

Peony 'Coral Supreme' (Paeonia lactiflora 'Coral Supreme')

Growth Characteristics:
'Coral Supreme' is a type of peony, a perennial herbaceous plant that typically grows to a height of 80–90 cm. It blooms from spring through early summer, producing semi-double flowers in a luminous coral color. Over time, the flowers change from apricot to pink. It prefers sunlight and thrives in well-drained soil.

Propagation Method:
Propagation is primarily achieved through root division. In the autumn, when the above-ground growth ceases, dig up the roots, divide them into several sections, and plant them. Each section must contain at least one bud.

Cultivation Method:
Select a sunny location and cultivate it in fertile, well-drained soil. The appropriate planting depth is to cover the roots with about 5 cm of soil. Although growth is slow, it produces beautiful flowers at a similar time every year. Provide sufficient water during the summer, and pay extra attention, especially during droughts.

Uses in the Garden:

'Coral Supreme' can serve as a focal point in the garden due to its vibrant colors and large flower size. It provides a beautiful backdrop when planted alongside grass and is also highly popular as a cut flower.

Important Pests and Control Methods:

While peonies are generally highly resistant to pests and diseases, they can occasionally be infected with leaf blight or soft rot. Diseased parts should be removed immediately to prevent spread, and fungicides can be used as needed. Pests such as aphids and monash may be found, and early control is possible through periodic observation and inspection. Prevention is possible through proper ventilation and maintaining humidity.
