The Beginning of Peony Season: Coral Peonies
There is something about the arrival of peony season that feels like a little celebration.
After months of waiting, those first tightly furled buds begin to appear — and with them comes the promise of the magnificent blooms they will become. For us, the first peonies of the season are always especially exciting, and this year we are beginning with one of the most beautiful: the coral peony.
A Bloom That Changes Before Your Eyes
Coral peonies are particularly captivating because they are never quite the same flower from the moment they arrive to the moment they fully open.
They begin as beautifully rounded buds in warm shades of coral and salmon. Over the days, they slowly unfurl, revealing layers upon layers of soft, ruffled petals. As they open, their colour begins to soften, moving through delicate blush and creamy tones before settling into a beautifully understated finish.
This transformation is part of the magic of having peonies at home. They aren't simply flowers to arrange, they are flowers to watch.
Ten Locally Grown Stems
Our Coral Peony Box brings the very beginning of this fleeting season into your home, with 10 locally grown stems, carefully selected while the flowers are still in bud.
The beauty of buying peonies at this stage is being able to experience their journey. With fresh water, a cool position and a little patience, those closed buds gradually reveal their full character.
And this is one of the reasons we adore peonies as a cut flower. Their beauty isn't static. Every day brings a subtle change.
A Season That Unfolds
Peony season is wonderfully short, which makes each variety feel even more precious. But the excitement doesn't stop with our first coral blooms.
As the season evolves, so will our peony releases.
We will be bringing you more locally grown varieties as they come into flower, each with its own colour, character and moment in the season. From the first coral tones through to the beautiful blooms that follow, we want to celebrate peonies as they naturally arrive, rather than trying to rush the season.
It is a little like waiting for a garden to bloom. You know there is more to come, but you don't quite know exactly when each flower will have its moment.
The Beauty of a Short Season
Perhaps that is what makes peonies so special.
They ask us to slow down and appreciate them while they are here. Their generous blooms, delicate petals and ever-changing colours make them one of those flowers that can completely transform a room and their fleeting season makes receiving them feel all the more special.
So, welcome to the beginning of peony season.
We are starting with 10 locally grown coral stems, and as the weeks unfold, we'll be opening the door to more.
One peony, one variety, one moment at a time.
Follow along as the season evolves and discover which peony will arrive next.
Love
Ramona
