Peony Season 2024

Herbaceous peonies in southeast Michigan bloom from approximately Memorial Day to mid-June, depending on the weather.  Until then, you can still visit other areas of the Arb to see blooming plants spring, summer, and fall.

The peony garden is starting to take off, with the herbaceous peony plants sprouting vigorously, ranging in height from around 8 inches to knee-high. These lush plants are thriving and developing well, preparing for their stunning blooms. Meanwhile, the tree peonies, known for their earlier blooming season, have begun to form tight buds.
