Coral Magic Peony Root with 5-8 Eyes
Coral Magic peony, a truly extraordinary and vibrant herbaceous hybrid celebrated for its intensely saturated color palette. Bred by the renowned Roy G. Klehm, this vigorous perennial delivers an eye-catching display of cup-shaped, semi-double blossoms glowing in a remarkably deep, rich rose-coral hue. Unlike many other members of the coral family, its petals carry a highly saturated salmon tone that holds its brilliant color exceptionally well. Each robust stem produces one heavy bud that bursts into an opulent flower of good substance, standing proudly at around 30 inches tall on exceptionally strong stems that require no staking. Emitting a uniquely clean, fresh green scent rather than a sugary sweet fragrance, Coral Magic is an elite early-season showstopper highly prized by cut-flower growers and landscape collectors alike.

Bare Root Peony Growing Information & When to Expect Blooms
Planting Time: Plant your bare roots in the fall as soon as you receive them, before the ground freezes solid. This gives the root system time to establish over the winter.
Planting Depth: Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the roots. Position the root with the "eyes" (buds) pointing upward, 1 to 2 inches below the soil surface. Planting them too deep will prevent the plant from blooming.
Sun & Soil: Choose a location with full sun (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily) and rich, well-draining soil. Avoid waterlogged areas to prevent rot.
When to Expect Blooms:
- Year 1 (First Spring): The plant will focus its energy on root establishment and foliage growth. You may see a few green shoots or small leaves, but blooms are rare or may be very small.
- Year 2: Foliage will become fuller and stronger, and you may get your first light bloom.
- Years 3 and Beyond: The peony will reach maturity, producing its full-sized, abundant blossoms and peak performance.
