Peony flower: start of the 2025 season

Peony roses season: a brief window of blooming bliss

The peony flower is one of nature’s most luxurious creations – elegant, fragrant, and deeply romantic. But its beauty is matched by its rarity: peony roses are true seasonal flowers, blooming only for a very short period each year. So, when is peony season? While weather can affect timing slightly, the peony season typically runs from late April through June. This brief appearance adds to the allure of peony roses, making them one of the most anticipated blooms of spring. At Daily Flowers, we celebrate the magic of the peony flower during this enchanting time of year.

Start of the peony season 2025

The highly anticipated peony season is almost here. In 2025, we expect peonies season to begin around the final week of April, depending on the weather. It’s a short-lived but powerful moment in nature – a time when the most romantic bloom of the year makes its entrance. Loved for their lush petals, dreamy fragrance and timeless appeal, peony roses are a favourite for weddings, anniversaries and spring celebrations. Whether soft blush, vibrant coral or creamy white, every peony rose we select is chosen for its freshness, colour and elegance. Celebrate peony season 2025 with a bloom that never goes unnoticed.

From bud to bloom: the peony rose unfolds

At first glance, a bunch of peony roses may seem understated – tight buds with little hint of what’s to come. But that’s part of the magic. As they slowly open, each peony rose transforms into an abundant, ruffled flower full of texture and depth. This dramatic evolution is what makes peonies so adored. Buying peony roses in bud form allows you to witness the full blooming journey at home. And if you want to encourage them to open, a gentle rinse under lukewarm water works wonders. Few flowers make such a visual impact – and none do it with such quiet grace.

The many varieties of peonies

With over a thousand varieties worldwide, peonies offer a rich diversity of forms, colours and personalities. From delicate pinks and deep reds to soft yellows and crisp whites, each variety of peony flower brings something special. The pink peony rose is the most commonly used in floral design, loved for its versatility and romantic appeal. Whether compact and classic or voluminous and dramatic, peonies add visual poetry to any arrangement. At Daily Flowers, we hand-select each peony flower for its bloom size, colour depth and longevity – ensuring only the best make it into our seasonal bouquets.

Pink peony roses: the essence of spring

Nothing captures spring quite like a pink peony rose. Known for their lush, layered petals and soft fragrance, pink peony roses embody elegance and femininity. Ranging from pastel blush to bold magenta, they’re a favourite for weddings, love notes and moments of appreciation. As the most beloved peony roses, they carry meanings of prosperity, good luck and a happy marriage – perfect for new beginnings. Whether gifted or kept for yourself, peony roses bring a moment of calm luxury into any space during peony season.

The best time to buy peonies

When is peony season at its peak? The answer is: May and June. That’s when peony flowers are at their fullest and most fragrant. For the best results, we recommend purchasing your peony bouquet when the buds are just beginning to open – this gives you a longer display and the joy of seeing them unfold. Since the peonies season is so short, it’s wise to order early. At Daily Flowers, our online shop and boutique store offer only the freshest, hand-selected peonies during their blooming window.

How to style your peonies bouquet

A lush peonies bouquet is stunning on its own, but also pairs beautifully with complementary flowers and accessories. Whether you’re arranging a dining table centrepiece or elevating your workspace, peonies bouquets bring volume, softness and charm. Style yours with a minimalist vase, soft candlelight or a stack of coffee table books for a look that’s both elegant and intentional. The full, rounded blooms of a peonies bouquet make a natural focal point in any setting.

Peony care tips to prolong their beauty

To keep your peony bouquet fresh for as long as possible, follow these care tips:

Use a clean vase filled with lukewarm water
Add flower food to the water
Remove any leaves below the waterline
Cut stems diagonally before placing in the vase
Refresh water every two days

These small rituals make a big difference – and let your peonies bloom to their full potential. Place them in a cool room away from direct sunlight, and enjoy every stage of their unfolding.
