Alaska peonies are known for their large blooms, vibrant color, and exceptional quality. Grown in Alaska’s long summer daylight, they bloom later in the season than peonies grown in the lower 48, making them especially sought after for late-summer events.

Yes. Alaska Beauty Peony focuses on Alaska-grown peonies and Alaska-inspired botanicals, highlighting local agriculture and seasonal beauty.

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.

More often that not we can expect that fresh cut peonies will begin shipping the from 4th of July through mid-August.

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.

Fresh peonies are seasonal and only available during Alaska’s growing season. Outside of peony season, Alaska Beauty Peony offers peony-inspired products and gifts that can be enjoyed year-round.

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.

A variety of peony colors and cultivars are grown each season. Specific varieties and colors vary year to year depending on growing conditions.

Duchess de Nemours and Marie Lemoine show no red flecks on the petals nor golden stamens.

Bowl of Cream is tremendous white but may have a blush tinge. A cold Spring may result in blush tinge which usually fades to white as the flower opens.

For blush peonies, we have Pecher and Baroness Schroeder.

Bowl of Cream and Amalia Olsen may show more blush after a cold spring.

Our best cardinal red peony is the Red Charm.

Our best watermelon red peony is the Kansas Red.

Peonies are harvested and shipped while still in bud to protect the blooms during transit and extend vase life. Budded peonies will continue to open naturally after arrival.

With proper care, fresh peonies can last several days to over a week. Longevity varies depending on bloom stage, temperature, and handling after delivery.

We cut our peonies as close to ship date as possible to give you the freshest stems possible. Keep in mind that peonies take 24–48 hours to open up after they arrive.

We ship each box with a “peony care” instruction card that give you tips and tricks to caring for your new flowers.
