Peonies The bloom everyone waits for all year!!!

There are very few flowers that create the kind of buzz peonies - it is not just because of their lush, cloud like appearance. They have a short blooming season and intoxicating fragrance, peonies are the epitome of fleeting beauty. 

If you have every waited all year for that one magical week of full blooms you're not alone. At Camellia, peony season is a celebration and we go all out. 

What makes peonies so special? They are beloved for their large ruffled blooms that resemble soft pom poms of petals. Their colours range from blush pink to coral and creamy white. 

But what is their true allure? Scarcity. Peonies typically bloom in late spring to early summer- roughly May through early July. This narrow window adds to their mystique and desirability, making them one of the most anticipated flowers of the year.

What do the different colours mean:

Blush Peonies: Romance, good fortune, and bashful love

White peonies: purity, elegance and honour

Red peonies: passion and prosperity

Coral peonies: Fresh starts and enthusiasm
