The Peony season is very short only 8 – 10 weeks , so now is the perfect time to buy them .

The South Island provides the cold dry winters which are the perfect conditions for growing peonies.

The colour range is from the softest white with names like Bowl of cream and Honey gold through to the warmest yellow , all shades of pink and burgundy .

Peonies have a long vase life of up to 10 days – they are long stemmed and thirsty so keep an eye on the water level . You don’t need many stems to give the wow factor .
