Peony Season – It’s Here!

Peony season has really kicked off — and what a start! Early varieties are coming through in great numbers, with Coral Charm and Coral Sunset offering fantastic value right now. These are perfect for bridal work, events, and seasonal bouquets.

Sarah Bernard is also available but still a little pricey — as the mainland’s Mother’s Day passes (mid-May), supply will increase and prices will drop, so watch this space. A great variety worth waiting for if you can hold off a little longer.

Prices are improving as supply builds, and you can expect to see hydrangeas appearing on our special offers regularly from here on in. Whether you’re doing weddings, events or everyday bouquets — now is the time to stock up.
