What customers say
Customers consistently praise the stunning, vibrant color transformation of 'Pink Hawaiian Coral,' noting its exceptional aesthetic payoff.

Know before you buy
Plant your bareroot in well-drained soil during the spring or fall. Ensure the 'eyes' or buds are positioned no more than 1 to 2 inches below the soil surface, as planting them too deep can prevent the plant from blooming.
Since the 'Pink Hawaiian Coral' reaches a mature width of 3 feet, you should space them at least 3 feet apart. This allows for proper air circulation, which helps keep the foliage healthy and prevents fungal issues.
While these peonies thrive in full sun, they can tolerate partial shade. Keep in mind that they will produce the most prolific blooms and the strongest stems when they receive at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Yes, their large, 6-inch double blooms and sweet fragrance make them excellent for cut flower arrangements. For the longest vase life, cut the stems in the morning when the buds are just beginning to show color.
No, this variety is considered deer-resistant. It is also generally resistant to most common garden pests, making it a low-maintenance choice for your landscape.
Peonies are very carefree. Simply leave the foliage in place after the flowers fade to allow the plant to store energy for next year; you can cut the stems back to the ground in late autumn after the first frost.
