Pink Hawaiian Coral Peony is a semi-double, coral-pink peony sold as a large bare-root clump with 3–5 eyes for early, showy spring blooms in a wide range of climates.

This variety from Marde Ross & Company combines an early-blooming habit with striking coral tones and semi-double form, making it a standout in borders, cutting gardens, and containers. Shipped as a large bare root with 3–5 eyes, this peony is intended for reliable establishment and generous flowering.

How will Pink Hawaiian Coral look in my garden?

Expect large, layered semi-double flowers in warm coral-pink shades that add a bright, textured focal point to spring beds. The plant forms bushy foliage and sturdy stems that support abundant blooms suitable for cutting and display.

• Semi-double flower shape with a ruffled center and broad outer petals
• Noticeable coral-pink coloration that deepens slightly as blooms mature
• Produces multiple large flowers per season on strong stems
• Foliage creates a tidy, mound-like habit between flowering periods

What do I need to know about planting and depth?

You’ll receive the peony as a bareroot clump with 3–5 visible eyes — plant according to local climate to encourage reliable sprouting. In warm climates place the eyes just below the soil surface; in colder regions where the ground freezes, plant about 2 inches deep for winter protection.

• Plant with buds just beneath surface in warm zones for quicker emergence
• In freezing zones, set roots about 2 inches deep to prevent freeze-thaw disturbance
• Space plants to allow good air circulation and 3–4 feet between clumps
• Water well after planting to settle soil around the roots

When will it bloom and how should I care for it?

Pink Hawaiian Coral is an early bloomer among peonies, often opening before many other varieties in warm climates; afternoon shade helps prolong flower life in hotter sites. General care is straightforward: provide full sun to part shade, regular watering during establishment, and minimal feeding to promote healthy roots and repeat flowering.

• One of the earlier peonies to flower in mild/warm areas
• Afternoon shade recommended in hot climates to reduce petal scorch
• Deadhead spent flowers to tidy appearance; leave foliage until it yellows naturally
• Mulch in winter in colder climates if extra protection is desired
