Peony Etched Salmon

Peony ‘Etched Salmon’ is a striking variety that offers an exceptional blend of colours, with semi-double blooms that open in a warm, peachy salmon hue, gradually deepening to a rich coral-pink at the centre. Each petal is beautifully etched with a contrasting darker pink edge, adding an intricate, almost painterly quality to the blooms. Flowering in late spring to early summer, this peony is perfect for adding a touch of elegance to borders, cutting gardens, or as a statement plant in mixed beds.

With strong, upright stems and deep green, glossy foliage, ‘Etched Salmon’ maintains its shape even in windy conditions, allowing its blooms to stand tall and proud. The hardy, low-maintenance plant thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and enjoys full sun or partial shade. The vibrant hues of ‘Etched Salmon’ make it an eye-catching addition to any garden, and its exceptional colour contrast ensures it stands out in both beds and bouquets.

We supply the highest quality bare root peony roots with 3–5 eyes, ensuring healthy growth and a profusion of beautiful flowers. For optimal results, plant in spring with the crown positioned 2.5–5 cm below the soil surface, and water regularly during the growing season. With time and care, ‘Etched Salmon’ will reward you with years of stunning blooms.

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.
