Coral Star (2 year graft)

Coral Star. Irvine/Sutherland. 2001. Advanced generation lutea hybrid. Soft cream base with pink/coral/peach tinges.  Petals are highly ruffled.  Flower form is semi-double to double and nearly a ball when double. Good carriage. Seedling # 465/2.  Good performance in Wisconsin with plants growing to approximately 3 feet.  Pollen fertility, but no seed fertility was noted.  From Bill Seidl seed, sent to New Zealand in the 1990s.  Parentage:  (Golden Era x Rosalind Elsie Franklin).  Excellent plant and flower. Ships in late September to mid October.  These are 2 year old grafted plants.  While plants are relatively small, they have youthful vigor and make wonderful additions to the garden.  Plant and grow them as you would older woody peonies.
