Award of Landscape Merit (ALM) description: ‘Coral ‘n Gold’ (Cousins / Klehm, R.G., 1981) Herbaceous Hybrid, Early, 30-32? — Large, cupped, coral petals form a six inch wide and shallow single, with a center of long stamens that tend to lay lax forming a large, flat yellow circle. An expanding crown makes for a broad bush that stands well, having the ability to restore itself after wind and rain. At one Midwest locale, a planting of ‘Coral ‘n Gold’ withstood the severe late freeze of 2007 that destroyed the buds of other coral hybrids, notably ‘Coral Sunset’, ‘Coral Charm’ and ‘Pink Hawaiian Coral’. Blooms on young plantlets flower nearly true to size. Foliage dies back early as plants go dormant in the summer. Propagate by division and adventitious roots.
