Paeonia 'Coral Sunset'
Choose Coral Sunset Peony if you want one of the most striking coral peonies on stems strong enough to hold the flowers up; the tradeoff is an early, fairly short bloom window, so pair it with later perennials.
Buy This If
- You want coral blooms that age to peach and cream.
- You cut flowers for indoors.
- You'd rather not stake your peonies.
Skip This If
- You need summer-long bloom.
- Your bed stays soggy.
- You want a classic fragrant pink peony.
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A | The shifting coral-to-cream color is a real showstopper, though the show is concentrated into early summer. |
| Growth Rate | B+ | Vigorous once settled, but like all peonies it takes a season or two to hit full bloom. |
| Maintenance | A- | Strong stems rarely need support; cut foliage back in fall and leave it alone. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer usually pass peonies by, though no plant is completely immune where pressure is severe. |
| Small Space Fit | B | It fits a sunny border, but the clump needs room and should not be crowded. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd recommend Coral Sunset for anyone who wants a peony that stands out from the usual pinks and whites. Plant it where the early color will be noticed and surround it with later bloomers so the bed keeps going after peony season.

Customers Usually Ask
Does the flower color change?
Yes. Blooms open deep coral and soften to peach and then creamy yellow as they age, so one plant shows several shades at once.
Does it need staking?
Usually not. Coral Sunset has notably strong stems for a peony.
Is it fragrant?
Only lightly. Grow it for color, not scent.
How deep should I plant it?
Keep the eyes no more than 1-2 inches below the soil surface; planting too deep is the most common reason peonies don't bloom.
Why buy for fall color
- See the actual color before you buy it
- Foliage, berries and late bloom — all three seasons of interest
- Fall planting means roots established before winter
