Our Peonies

Peonies are the ultimate seasonal indulgence. Though the plants themselves can live more than 80 years, they bloom only once each spring, for just a week. Their beauty is rare and fleeting, so make sure to enjoy these beloved flowers while they’re here!

Most peonies sold in the U.S. are imported, traveling thousands of miles from Europe, Israel, Chile, or South Africa depending on the season. Along the way, they generate heavy carbon emissions, are grown with intensive pesticide use, and sometimes treated with preservatives to survive the journey. By the time they reach your home, they’ve already lived much of their brief vase life.

By contrast, our peonies are from New York’s Hudson Valley—grown in limited quantities, cut at their peak, and delivered directly to you within 48 hours. They haven’t endured airplane rides or chemical treatments; they’ve gone straight from field to hand. The result is a flower that opens more fully, lasts longer, and carries the true freshness of spring.

Choosing local peonies isn’t just a conscious choice—it’s a luxurious one: flowers at their peak, grown with care, and enjoyed exactly as nature intended

With 500 plants and more than 25 varieties, we grow both the classic, well-known Sarah Bernhardt and a collection of lesser-known varieties—Princess Margaret, Etched Salmon, Pillow Talk, and Dinner Plate, to name a few. You may not know them yet, but they’ll quickly become your new favorites.

Our flowers are grown with care for both people and the planet. They’re nourished with compost from our own kitchen and garden, supported by non-synthetic fertilizers, and kept fresh in a solar-powered cooler. During our humid summers, we use an organic copper-based fungicide if needed.

Every bouquet is wrapped in unbleached brown paper and acid-free tissue, sealed with a compostable sticker printed in soy ink, and tied with 100% cotton ribbon. After enjoying your blooms, you can compost the flowers and paper, and reuse the ribbon—leaving behind only a light footprint. 

We hope these flowers feel as good in your home as they do in the field: fresh, fleeting, and tended with care.
