FAQs

Orders must be placed AT LEAST 72 hours in advance of delivery date. We cut the flowers as close to ship date as possible, so this time allows us to make sure you get the freshest stems!

In addition, keep in mind that peonies take 24-48 hours to open up after they arrive, so plan accordingly and order your flower box with ample time for the buds to open. Click here for more information on peony care.

For weekend events, we highly recommend shipping on the Monday prior to the event. The flowers can be conditioned to open slowly in a cooler or rapidly at room temperature in time for an upcoming event. For more information on conditioning your peonies, click here.

Our short season in Alaska is very dependent on weather and climate. Sometimes the ground is still frozen through June, which delays our season. It's just a part of the joys flower farming right below the arctic circle. Unsurprisingly, the peony harvest follows the same pattern as the salmon run in our Cook Inlet.

We have a very short growing and harvest season in Alaska, so by late August, our peonies are pretty much finished. By September and October we no longer have inventory available.

Because of the unpredictability of our peony season in Alaska, we are no longer selling stems based on specific varieties. Instead, please check out our Wholesale Box. If you would like to request a specific variety in the box, please leave us a note in the gift note section at checkout and we will do our best to accommodate your request.
