The humble peony might just be the most anticipated bloom in the flower world—a perennial powerhouse that has customers planning weddings around its fleeting season and flower farmers scrambling to extend its magical but all-too-brief window of perfection.
Stepping into the world of peonies means committing to a long-term relationship. These stunning perennials take 2-3 years before producing sellable stems, but once established, they'll reward your patience for decades with some of the highest-value blooms in the cut flower market. At Wildly Native Flower Farm, our three 100-foot rows produce stems that wholesale for $3-5 each during their concentrated 10-day season—though in hot weather, that window can shrink dramatically to what feels like mere hours.
Whether you're considering adding these showstoppers to your cutting garden or simply want to better understand why flower lovers lose their minds over these blooms each spring, join us for this deep dive into everything peony. Connect with us on Instagram @WildlyNative to share your favorite peony varieties and experiences!
