Voici la traduction anglaise complète :

Coral Reef Peony Mix (Paeonia lactiflora ‘Coral Reef’) brings together magnificent garden peonies with large double and semi-double flowers in luminous shades of coral, pink, and creamy white. Their fragrant blooms, appearing from May to June, bring a romantic and refined presence to spring landscapes. Carried on long, sturdy stems, the flowers rise elegantly above green foliage and reach approximately 100 cm (40 in) tall. Hardy to Zone 3, this long-lived perennial easily withstands Quebec winters and generally becomes more floriferous as it matures.

Plant the tuberous roots in spring or fall in rich, deep, fertile, and well-drained soil, positioning the buds approximately 5 cm (2 in) below the surface. Choose a location in full sun and space plants approximately 60 cm (24 in) apart to promote good air circulation. Water moderately after planting, then keep the soil lightly moist during establishment and dry periods. An application of mature compost or balanced fertilizer in spring supports flowering without encouraging excessive foliage growth. Avoid moving established peonies and cut back yellowing foliage in fall.

The ‘Coral Reef’ mix is ideal for sunny flower beds, flowering borders, cutting gardens, and romantic-style landscapes. Its soft colours pair beautifully with irises, delphiniums, salvias, catmints, and roses, creating rich and elegant spring displays. The large, fragrant flowers have excellent vase life and are especially well suited to bouquets, receptions, and refined floral arrangements. They also attract a variety of pollinators while in bloom. Peonies can be slow to establish and may require a few growing seasons before flowering abundantly, but once settled, they enhance the garden for many years.

Planting guide

Plant well.Grow beautifully.

Planting depth

5 cm (2 in)

Best planting time

Spring or Fall

Propagation

Divide established clumps in autumn.

Growing method

Plant the tuberous roots in spring or fall in rich, deep, well-drained soil. Position the buds approximately 5 cm (2 in) below the soil surface. Space plants 60 cm (24 in) apart in a location with full sun. Water moderately after planting, then keep the soil lightly moist while the plants establish. Avoid moving established peonies. They become increasingly floriferous with age.

Soil and care

The right care,at the right time.

Soil pH

Neutral to slightly acidic

Minimum temperature

-40°C (-40°F)

Care level

Easy

Watering

Keep the soil lightly moist during active growth without overwatering. Water more deeply during extended dry periods.

Soil type

Rich, deep, fertile, well-drained soil.

Fertilization

Apply mature compost or a balanced fertilizer in spring. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which encourages foliage growth at the expense of flowers.

Seasonal care

Remove spent flowers after blooming. Cut back the foliage once it yellows in autumn. Apply compost in spring and avoid disturbing established plants.

Container growing

A garden,within reach.

Recommended pot size

50 cm (20 in)
Container gardening requires considering the necessary volume for the roots and the plant's final height. Choose a stable pot with drainage holes and a suitable growing medium. Leave enough space to respect the recommended depth and spacing, rather than crowding plants to fill the pot immediately. Place the container in the indicated exposure and regularly check the moisture, especially in hot or windy weather. A pot is more exposed to temperature variations than planting directly in the ground. Therefore, from the outset, plan a wintering location compatible with the plant's needs and your region's climate. Choose a sunny, permanent location in fertile, well-draining soil. Peonies appreciate being able to settle in the same spot for several years. Loosen a volume of soil large enough to spread the roots without bending them. Place the "eyes" (buds) at a shallow depth: planting too deeply can delay or compromise flowering. After backfilling, water to bring the soil into contact with the roots, without heavily tamping with your foot. Keep the area clear of weeds and avoid accumulating mulch directly over the buds. Mark the planting location so as not to disturb it during its winter dormancy. In winter, protect the container according to the plant's needs: its roots are more exposed to cold than when planted directly in the ground.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions,answered.

When should Coral Reef Peony Mix be planted?
The tuberous roots can be planted in either spring or fall. Fall planting often promotes stronger root development before spring growth begins.
Can peonies remain in the same location for many years?
Yes. Peonies prefer to remain undisturbed for many years and generally produce more flowers as they mature.
Why does my peony produce few flowers during the first year?
Peonies establish slowly. It may take two or three growing seasons before they produce abundant blooms.
Are the flowers suitable for bouquets?
Yes. Their long, sturdy stems and large fragrant blooms provide outstanding vase life.
Should the foliage be cut back in autumn?
Yes. Wait until the foliage naturally yellows, then cut it back to ground level to reduce disease and prepare the plant for spring growth.
