Peonies typically bloom for a relatively short period of about 7 to 10 days per individual plant
. However, the overall peony blooming season can be extended to around 6 to 8 weeks by planting different varieties that bloom at staggered times, from very early to very late season bloomers
. There are several types of peonies-woodland, tree, herbaceous, and intersectional-that bloom sequentially, allowing a garden to have peonies in flower for up to eight weeks if all types are present
. Early-season peonies start blooming in late spring (around April to June depending on location), followed by mid-season and late-season varieties, which helps extend the flowering period
. In summary:
- Each peony plant blooms for about 7-10 days.
- By planting a mix of early, mid, and late-season peonies, you can enjoy continuous blooms for up to 6 to 8 weeks.
- Bloom timing depends on the peony species, cultivar, and local climate
