Some of the best coral easy-to-grow flowers that I can recommend are ( top left, clockwise) Dahlia ‘Beach Bum’, Dahlia ‘Coral Gypsy’, Zinnia Benary’s Giant Salmon Rose, Sweet Pea ‘Valerie Harrod’, Zinnia ‘Dreamland Coral’ and Diascia ‘Coral Belle’.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\nThe wedding and design blogs are obsessed with coral and poppy colors, Pinterest<\/a> ( will someone please invite me?!) has hundreds of pins just based on coral and poppy, but what are the best. most growable flowers that fit in this palette? My designer friends ask me more about what coral colored flowers they can grow than most anything else, so I thought that I might as well share my thoughts, concerns, as well as some suggestions about what plants are truly growable, and which ones to forget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
New Diascia varieties come in the perfect shade of coral. Not great cut flowers, they are great for early spring plantings in the ground, or in containers.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
\n<\/div>\n

Plant and seed catalogs can be very misleading, and unless you have grown most every plant, more often than not, new gardeners are disappointed in the results they get when the order plants based off nothing more than a photo in a catalog, or a post on a wedding blog. The truth is, choosing flowering plants simply based on color choice is very challenging, so I will share what I know, as well as some expertise on color, from my perspective as both a graphic designer and, as a gardener who has some experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Slightly more challenging to grow – (Clockwise) Peony ‘Coral Charm’, Peony, ‘Coral Magic’, Sweet Pea ‘Mollie Rilestone’, Echinacea ‘ Coral Reef’, Larkspur ‘ Sublime Salmon’, Papaver Oriental Poppy ‘Salmon’.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
\n<\/div>\n

Recent color trends are showing a lot of coral and poppy, both in fashion and in the cut-flower trade. I just want to be a voice of reality here – these are not common colors in the floral world, at least as growable annuals and perennials, and, especially as home-grown cut flowers.<\/p>\n

Here are the facts to note:  Professional cut-flower growers are fast, as are plant breeders, and some very nice coral cut flowers have been introduced for greenhouse culture, but few of us can grow coral Gerbera or salmon and peach roses. Also, you must think about timing. I tried to group my suggestions buy season since many people might order randomly from a wide variety of catalogs, not realizing that peony will bloom only for a single week in early June, and a salmon rose may only bloom for a single week in early July. Then, of course, there are Dahlias and Zinnias which bloom at the end of summer, and sweet peas in June and July, so imagining arrangements with roses, peonies, dahlias, and sweet peas all together is completely unrealistic, so try to plan your cut flowers by flowering season.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\nDahlias, in late summer from my garden in years past. I love combining coral tones with magenta, it allows me to have many options, rather than growing an odd and impractical blend that one often sees with dahlias, of yellow, white, primrose, red, rust and orange. Choosing a more attractive palette makes all the difference. Try pairing these with burgundy colored foliage.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
If you are growing Salmon and Coral colored flowers, you will need this precise shade of periwinkle, which I can only find in one variety of an imported Spencer variety of Sweet Pea, called ‘Bristol’. Want to grow them? Check out Tony’s<\/a> site called Tony The Gardener<\/a> for a step-by-step method that not only produced lots of cut flowers, it also looks great in the garden – order your seeds now- this color is sublime!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\nCoral and poppy colors flowers do look best when paired with darker tones of pink, deep magenta tones and periwinkle, so you may want to plan on planting some complementary colors like this, as well as lime colored foliage.<\/p>\n

Here are my best recommendations for salmon, poppy, and coral colored flowers. You will notice that poppies are not included ( except the one photo of an oriental poppy, which too, I would not suggest as an option since all poppies make horrible cut flowers, lasting only a day when cut in water. Save them for the garden.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

The newer Diascia varieties are some of the greatest coral colored plants, and they can be cut for small vases, but generally, they are only good as bedding plants in the early spring. Diascia is fine choices for cool-season gardens in California, or in the greenhouse – in the north, look for them in March and plant out early like pansies, and then toss them when the weather becomes hot. Two good ones are available mail order from Joy Creek Nurseries<\/a>, named Coral Belle and Coral Rose. Park Seed company offers a zinnia called Dreamland<\/a>, and one selection is coral, although the photo does not do it justice, believe me, it’s pretty close to coral – on the darkish reddish toned side of coral but it enhances arrangements. True coral is such a difficult color to achieve. Zinnia Benary’s Giant is available at many seed sources, try Sunrise s<\/a>eeds or Harris Seeds. This is one of the finest bright coral colored flowers for mid to late summer bouquets. Try Benary’s Giant Salmon Rose<\/a> as a nice color to accompany the brighter coral colors.<\/p>\n

Zinnias and Dahlias<\/p>\n

Of all of the flowers that are easy to grow, which come in coral, Dahlias and Zinnias offer the most value, for not only are they easy to grow, and provide you with lots of flowers, they produce flowers for a long period of time, whereas flowers like Peonies only bloom for a week or two. Swan Island Dahlias<\/a> offers a tremendous variety of Dahlias ( it’s where I order mine from), and you can easily assemble a collection based on a few tones of color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Dahlias come in many coral colors, many of which look best when combined with a blend of pink and magenta tones, and violet color varieties. These, which I grew three years ago, so how effective a simple restrained color palette can be.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nEASIEST TO GROW CORAL FLOWERS<\/div>\n
\nAll of these are terrific for mid to late summer bloom ( except the peony varieties)<\/div>\n

\nDahlias – Coral Gypsy, Tempest, Beach Bum
\nZinnia – Benary’s Giant Coral
\nZinnia – Benary’s Giant Salmon Rose
\nZinnia – Dreamland Coral
\nEchinacea ‘Coral Reef’ PPAF available at good nurseries
\nPeony – Coral Charm from Klem’s Song Sparrow Nursery<\/a>
\nPeony – Coral Magic also from Klem’s Song Sparrow Nursery<\/p>\n

\nMORE CHALLENGING TO GROW CORAL FLOWERS<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

All of these are June and early July flowering plants.<\/p>\n

Sweet Peas – Valerie Harrod – Order from England, at Owls Acre Sweet Peas
\nDiascia ( not for cut flower, only for beds) Coral Belle, and Coral Rose. Buy as started plants in spring.
\nClarkia elegans – ‘Apple Blossom’ from Thompson & Morgan – Sow where it will grow, thin, do not transplant. Cool Growing.
\nLarkspur – Sublime Salmon available as a single color from Johnny’s Selected Seeds<\/a> Sow where it is to grow and do not transplant.
\nSweet Pea Mollie Rilestone from Thompson & Morgan<\/a>
\nPoppies, try Papaver somniferum as an annual ( sow where it is to grow) or plant long-lived Oriental Poppies in coral colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Almost impossible to grow unless you live in northern California or Oregon – ( or England) is Clarkia elegans, one of the most delightful coral colored flowers. Cool growing, never wanting to go over 55 deg. F, sow where it will grow, and do not transplant it since it must form a taproot. These look like tissue paper flowers.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
