Cutting stage

Not all peonies can be cut in the hard stage (3-4 days to open—very safe to ship but uneven ripening)When there is softness in the bud, true color, and an open calyx almost all varieties of peonies can be successfully opened

The green buds (above) are in the hard stage, the puffy ones are in soft stage

Soft "marshmallow" stage (NY cut)

(Above, left and right) these are a medium cutting stage

Bunches are 10 stems and a box contains from 160-200 stems.

We normally cut our peonies at 22-24” (55-60cm)

We sell most varieties in a short length (8-12”) for about half price.
