ORDERS
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.

AVAILABILITY
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 above 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.
