Coral Scout (Laning / Hollingsworth) Herbaceous Hybrid. Early, flowering with the later opening Suffruticosa Group woody peonies. Single.  Please click on image for detail description.

Abundant flowers of 10-12 heavy substanced, much fluted large petals of coral pink, surrounding a medium large cluster of yellow stamens, warm red accents by the stigmas at center. Very erect stems topped by one or occasionally a second flower a few inches above the leaflets make a compact, upright bush, which stands on its own strength. It is seriously flawed, however, because of vulnerability to flower bud damage from late freezes as it performs in our Central Midwest climate. For landscape use, recommended only for regions where spring warm up is typically not interrupted by especially harsh weather fronts, parentage unknown. Fertile for breeding, has pollen and seeds.
