What's in Bloom
Peony Season 2025
The herbaceous peonies usually bloom in full splendor from Memorial Day until mid-June. Starting in late March, we will provide regular updates on their progress. Follow along below to watch their journey unfold!

We are nearing the end of the peony bloom for 2024. Most of the plants have flowered, and many are starting to lose their petals. There are still plenty of flowers to enjoy, and a few later-blooming plants that have yet to flower, but the mass bloom has passed.

While most of the peonies are still blooming, there are signs that we have passed the peak bloom period. Recent heavy rains have caused some stems to arch and petals to fall. Despite this, the garden remains stunning and well worth a visit. The cooler temperatures this week should help preserve the flowers for a bit longer.

It may not look like much, but these little red shoots are the start of Peony Season 2025!
