Enjoy Dazzling Fresh-Cut Peonies On Sale Now!

Summer time is here, and along with it we have beautiful summer flowers. Peonies are one of these summer favorites but are only available for a limited time.

All peonies have large, fragrant flowers. Colors include pink, purple, white, red, and sometimes yellow. The flowers only typically bloom for about 10 days. Peonies are typically seen in summer floral arrangements as cut flowers and only available for part of the summer. Peony Arrangements With such a brief time to enjoy, there's no time like the present to add some peonies to your home or office or send them to a loved one.
