In most locations, flowers will bloom in April, May or June. Expect tree peonies to bloom first (around Mother's Day), followed by herbaceous varieties (around Memorial Day) and then the intersectionals. Include all three types in the garden to enjoy blooms for up to seven weeks.

What month do peonies flower?

The month of May is synonymous with the short but glorious flowering season of the peony, popular flowers that are so dramatic when displayed in a vase. They are visible from late April until early June, but May is when they truly flourish.

How many times a year do peonies bloom?

Peonies only bloom once a year. You get one shot at this. In Georgia we get our blooms in late March/early April depending on climate. For us they bloom once spring is on it's cusp.
