Peonies are a once-a-year-joy. Though the plants can live up to 80 years, they bloom only for 1-2 weeks each spring. Their beauty is fleeting, so make sure to enjoy these beloved flowers while they’re here!
Eighty percent of peonies sold in the U.S. are imported, traveling thousands of miles to reach you. They’re typically grown on large farms that use intensive pesticides, generate heavy carbon emissions in transit, and are often treated with preservatives. By the time they arrive at your home, much of their brief vase life is already gone.
By contrast, our peonies are from New York’s Hudson Valley—grown in limited quantities, cut at their peak, and typically delivered to you within 48 hours. They haven’t endured airplane rides or chemical treatments; they’ve gone from field to your hands.The result is a flower that arrives days, not weeks, old, opens more fully, and lasts longer.
Our flowers are grown the low-impact way: using compost from our garden, organic fertilizers, and a solar-powered cooler to keep cut blooms fresh. In our humid Hudson Valley summers, we use a natural copper-based fungicide only if needed, and only long after bloom season is over.
Bouquets are wrapped in unbleached kraft paper and acid-free tissue, sealed with a compostable sticker, and tied with cotton ribbon. When you’re done, compost the flowers and paper and save the ribbon for next time. Easy, low fuss.
Choosing local peonies isn’t just an environmentally better choice; it’s a bit of luxury: flowers at their peak, grown with care by a real person you can reach (me), and a lovely way to treat yourself or someone else.
