Peony Season Is Finally Here Again

There are a few moments in the floral calendar that we genuinely look forward to, and the start of peony season is definitely one of them. The first buckets of fresh peonies arriving are a sure sign that spring is in full swing. Their large, fluffy blooms, soft fragrance and romantic colours make them one of the most loved flowers of the year. Whether you're creating wedding work, styling an event or simply filling your shop with seasonal favourites, peony flowers always attract attention. And let's be honest, customers start asking for them long before they're actually available.

When Are Peonies in Season?

The peony season is relatively short compared to many other cut flowers, making peonies even more desirable. Depending on the growing region and weather conditions, peonies in season are typically available from late April through July.

Dutch-grown peonies often enter the market in spring, followed by supply from other European growing regions.

The limited season creates a sense of exclusivity, which makes peonies highly attractive for premium floral designs and luxury retail offerings.

Favourite Peony Varieties Among Florists

One of the joys of working with peonies is the variety of colours and shapes available throughout the season.

Sarah Bernhardt A true classic. The Sarah Bernhardt peony is loved for its large, soft pink blooms and romantic appearance. If customers picture a peony in their mind, this is often the one they're thinking of.

Coral Charm The Coral Charm peony is always a conversation starter. It opens in vibrant coral tones and gradually changes to softer peach and cream shades as the flower matures. It's a beautiful variety that brings something a little different to seasonal designs.

Pink Peonies Without a doubt, pink peonies remain one of the most requested flowers every season. Perfect for bouquets, weddings and premium retail work.

White Peonies Elegant, fresh and timeless. White peonies are a florist favourite for bridal work and luxury arrangements, pairing beautifully with roses and seasonal foliage.

Getting the Most Out of Your Peonies

As beautiful as they are, peonies do appreciate a little care. A few simple peony care tips can make a big difference:

Recut stems when they arrive.
Place them in fresh, clean water.
Keep buckets and tools clean.
Store flowers at the correct temperature when needed.
Buy blooms at the soft-bud stage for the best opening performance.

With the right handling, you can enjoy excellent quality and impressive peony vase life, while customers get to enjoy their flowers for even longer at home.
