Peony Coral Beach (King's Day)

Peony ‘Coral Beach’, also known as King's Day, is a truly stunning peony that captures attention with its vibrant coral-orange blooms. This herbaceous variety produces large, semi-double flowers with a unique blend of soft coral and peach tones, reminiscent of a tropical sunset. Each bloom, reaching up to 20 cm in diameter, features a subtle fragrance that adds a pleasant touch to its visual appeal. Flowering in late spring to early summer, ‘Coral Beach’ is perfect for adding a burst of colour to borders, beds, or cutting gardens.

The strong, upright stems of this peony ensure that its bold blooms remain supported, even during adverse weather. Its dark green, glossy foliage provides a striking contrast to the vibrant flowers, remaining healthy and attractive throughout the growing season. As a hardy, low-maintenance plant, ‘Coral Beach’ thrives in sunny to partially shaded spots with well-drained soil.

We offer the highest quality bare root peony roots with 3–5 eyes, ensuring healthy growth and an impressive display of blooms. For optimal results, plant in the spring with the crown 2.5–5 cm below the surface, and ensure consistent watering throughout the growing season. With proper care, ‘Coral Beach’ will reward you with years of breathtaking beauty.

Newly planted peonies seldom make a first-class show in their first season, instead reaching the top of their form in their second or third year.
