Each spring, peony season arrives quickly at our Forest Grove farm in Oregon. From April through June, the fields are in constant motion as different varieties come into bloom. Careful monitoring and thoughtful harvesting help ensure each stem is cut at the right moment.
A Season Shaped by the Weather
Spring weather sets the pace for peony harvest. Cool stretches slow development. A few warm days can move blooms forward quickly. Because of that, timing decisions are made in the field, not just on the calendar. Crop maturity is monitored daily, and harvest plans adjust as conditions shift.

Peony Varieties: Early to Late Bloom Progression
To keep the harvest moving steadily, our peonies are planted in a natural bloom progression.
The season opens with strong early varieties. Mid-season carries the bulk of demand and color diversity. Late varieties, including a mix of Pure Whites and Sara Bernhardts, help finish the harvest with reliable volume.

Sequencing the Season
Beyond day-to-day harvest decisions, the season is shaped well before blooms open. We plant varieties that naturally bloom in succession — early, mid, and late. That progression helps structure the harvest window, even when spring weather shifts week to week.

Peony season remains condensed and weather-dependent. Early coordination helps secure preferred varieties and timing.
