Peony Season Is Here — But Not for Long!
Why quality matters when buying these beloved blooms.
Peony season has finally arrived — and just like every year, it comes and goes in a flash. One of the most common questions we hear is, “Where to buy peonies?” But the more important question is, “Where to buy quality peonies?”
Sure, you can find peonies at some grocery stores for a lower price… but not all peonies are created equal. The difference between mass-produced supermarket stems and premium florist-sourced peonies is enormous — and you’ll see it in the size, the fragrance, and the way the petals unfurl into lush, romantic blossoms.
At Flower Icon, we source only premium, freshly cut peonies selected for their size, scent, and longevity. Our peonies don’t just sit in a vase — they perform. They open with drama, transforming any room into an elegant, fragrant escape.
When Are Peonies in Season?
Peony season in California and most of the U.S. typically runs from late April to June, sometimes stretching into early July depending on the bloom cycle.
But here’s the magic: when it’s fall or winter in the U.S., it’s spring somewhere else. That means we can still bring in stunning peonies from places like Chile, New Zealand, and parts of Europe during the off-season.
So while the local season is short, premium florists like Flower Icon can often source peonies year-round — though availability and prices vary based on global harvests.
Local Florists vs. Online Delivery: Why It Matters for Peonies
Peonies are delicate, sensitive, and not the longest-lasting flowers. They bruise easily, hate heat, and can wilt quickly if shipped long distances.
This is why ordering from a local flower delivery service like Flower Icon is the best way to enjoy peonies at their peak.
Why local delivery wins for peonies:
-
Shorter travel time = fresher blooms
Peonies shipped in boxes for 2–4 days often arrive tired and dehydrated. -
Temperature-controlled handling
Local florists know these blooms are fragile and protect them from heat. -
No surprises
You receive exactly what you see — no mystery buds, no crushed petals. -
Same-day freshness
Flower Icon delivers peonies the same day in San Francisco and nearby areas, ensuring your flowers look flawless on arrival.
If you want the freshest, fullest, most luxurious peonies, always trust a local florist, not a warehouse-style online delivery service.

Care Tips for Fresh-Cut Peonies
Peonies can last beautifully when cared for properly. Here’s how to help your blooms thrive:
🌤 Keep them away from direct sunlight
Heat speeds up blooming and shortens vase life.
💧 Change the water daily
Peonies drink a lot and need clean, fresh water to stay hydrated.
❄️ Store them in a cool place
Avoid warm rooms — cool environments extend their lifespan.
✂️ Trim stems by half an inch every day
A fresh cut helps the flowers absorb more water and open evenly.
Follow these steps and your peonies will stay fresher, fuller, and more radiant for days.
Why Quality Matters
Grocery store peonies may look pretty for a day or two, but our customers return because they want peonies that last longer, bloom bigger, and feel luxurious.
