Peony season is short—but oh, is it sweet! With their lush petals, romantic ruffles, and irresistible fragrance, peonies are one of the most in-demand flowers for weddings and events across Maryland. But if you’re a florist, event planner, or designer, you already know: blink and you’ll miss them.
So how do you make sure you get your hands on the freshest, locally grown peonies—without the stress, delay, or disappointment of out-of-state wholesale channels?
At Winters Farm Florals, we’ve put together this quick guide to help you plan ahead, reserve early, and source the best Maryland-grown peonies—right when you need them most.
When Is Peony Season in Maryland?
In Maryland, peonies typically bloom for about 4 weeks between early May and early June, depending on the weather and variety. That means there’s a limited window to source them at their peak—and high demand often leads to early sell-outs.
Why Source Peonies Locally?
1. Unbeatable Freshness
Peonies shipped from overseas may spend days in transit, compromising quality and vase life. Our farm-fresh stems are cut and conditioned within hours of delivery or pickup—so you get maximum bloom time for your designs.
2. Specialty Varieties Grown in Maryland Soil
We grow beloved classics and eye-catching varieties including:
- Coral Charm
- Sarah Bernhardt
- Duchesse de Nemours
- Bartzella (our most popular!)
These varieties thrive in our Maryland climate and offer vibrant colors, large blooms, and that iconic peony scent.
3. Reliable Communication & Real Availability
Working directly with a local grower like Winters Farm Florals means no middleman, no guesswork. We update our wholesale partners weekly during bloom season with availability, harvest timing, and care tips.
