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.

Despite last week’s snow, the peonies are doing just fine. They’re continuing their slow and steady growth, with sturdy stems now reaching about 4–5 inches tall. We don't expect any buds for a while yet, just a patient march toward bloom season.
