The plant is not only very beautiful, but also quite unpretentious.

Peony Coral Sunset: description

The main features of this perennial herbaceous plant include:

• Compactness of the bush,
• Straight high stem (up to 90 cm),
• Semi-double effective flowers with a diameter of 18-20 cm,
• pleasant aroma.

The peony flowers of Coral Sunset have a very beautiful peach-pink shade with an admixture of blood-red coral. Hence the name of the variety. The Russian Coral Sunset translates as "bloody dawn". By the end of flowering, the petals acquire an equally attractive yellowish color. Both shades are harmoniously combined with the bright green foliage of the plant.

How to choose a place for planting

A peony of a milky-flowered Coral Sunset loves well-lit places. A flower bed with these flowers should warm up well in the sun and be protected from the wind. It is undesirable to plant these peonies next to the house (only on the south side). In the penumbra, Coral Sunset also feels decent, but in this case it will not be possible to achieve abundant and prolonged flowering. Do not make a garden under these flowers and next to trees or shrubs. Root plant systems can compete for nutrients.

Also, the area allocated for these peonies should not be flooded in the spring. Otherwise, the roots of perennial are simply vyprejut.

What should be the soil

Best of all, the Coral Sunset peony grows on loamy, well drained soils. Of course, the soil must be loose and fairly fertile. On a clay soil the plant will not feel too good. Therefore, if the land on the site is heavy, under the peonies will have to make a flower bed with its replacement. Unsuitable soil is simply removed, to a depth of about 50 cm. The flower bed itself should be wide enough. The resulting pit is covered with soil from sand, organic fertilizers and turf ground in the proportion of 1x2x2.

Landing technology

This variety is usually sold in the form of a root lump. Plant a peony herbaceous Coral Sunset for this technology:

• Deepen the purchased root lump so that the upper bud is about 3-5 cm from the flower bed surface. At too high or low planting, the pions will not bloom in the next.
• Sprinkle the roots carefully, trying not to damage them. Thus it is necessary to try to make so that inside of a flower bed there were no air voids. Otherwise, the roots of the pions begin to dry out.
• At the final stage, the plant needs to be thoroughly watered.

Before the first frost, the soil under the newly planted peonies should be kept moist. But it should not be too raw.

Do I need to mulch

Covered with sawdust, dry grass or straw soil under peonies should only be in the resting period of plants. Mulch the flowerbeds with peonies in autumn, and in spring this layer is removed. Otherwise, it may happen that sprouts through it will not break through.

Timing

Plant a peony Coral Sunset (a photo of the variety can be seen on the page) usually in late August - early October. After lowering the air temperature on the street to 12 degrees, the suction roots begin to grow in the pions. This will contribute to their good survival. You can plant plants in the spring. However, it is better to do it as soon as possible - immediately after the melting water melts.

Basic rules of care in the first year

In the first year after the landing, the Peony Korel Sunset should form a strong root system. In order not to weaken it, the emerging buds should be plucked in the pea phase. The accessory roots begin to grow in pions in April-May. In the future, they turn into storing. During this period, in order to accelerate their growth, it is worth pouring young plants with some stimulant. It can be, for example, "Zircon" (1 ampoule per 10 liters). Remove emerging buds from the pion bushes and in the second year after disembarkation. To control the variety, you can leave one flower.

Watering young peonies should not be too often, but abundantly. In particular, it is important to ensure that the soil under the bushes remains permanently moist in spring and early summer, when there is active growth of the plant and the formation of renal regeneration.

How to take care of grown plants

For the third year after planting, the Peony Coral Sunset begins to blossom in full force. Sprinkled adult plants a little less often than young. However, you can not tolerate the drying of the soil under the bushes. A one-time watering rate is about a bucket per bush. Humidify the soil under pions in the summer about once a week and a half (in the absence of rain).

After each watering, the soil in the flower bed must be loosened. Allowing the formation of a crust is highly discouraged.

How and what to feed

Since the third year of life, the Peony Coral Sunset must be fertilized. Most often, fertilizing is carried out using complex formulations. One plant needs about 80 grams of fertilizer per season. A single dose is approximately 26 g (1 tbsp per 10 liter bucket of water). For the first time, fertilizers are introduced in early spring. At this time, it is best to seal them around the bush in a previously dug groove. The second time the bushes are fertilized during the budding period. The last top dressing is done two weeks after the end of flowering.

Breeding Multiplication

There are varietal peonies, including Coral Sonset, quite expensive. And because many owners of suburban areas for sure would like to know how you can propagate this plant yourself. Unfortunately, in the first years it will hardly be possible. To share the overgrown bush Coral Sunset is permissible after 10 years of growth in one place. Otherwise, the peony can simply be ruined.

The division is performed in such a way that at least 3-5 kidneys remain in each part. Follow this procedure with a sharp knife, trying as little as possible to damage the roots. Produce a transplant in August - October.
