Peonies are among the most beloved flowers. They symbolize romance, softness, and deep emotion — which is why many people dream of gifting them on Valentine’s Day.
However, from a professional florist’s perspective, we believe it is important to be honest and transparent.
🌸 Peonies are not in season in February
February is not the natural season for peonies, and during this time their quality is extremely difficult to predict.
Many farms harvest peonies out of season and store them in cold facilities for long periods in order to sell them for major holidays. These flowers are often offered at significantly higher prices than during their natural season.
As a result:
- freshness cannot be guaranteed
- vase life is unpredictable
- there is a high risk that the bouquet will fade quickly
🤍 We understand the wish — but not the risk
We completely understand the desire to gift peonies — they are iconic and deeply loved.
That said, as professional florists, we cannot recommend them as a reliable choice for Valentine’s Day.
If you have already placed an order for peonies, we will of course do everything possible to provide the best quality available.
However, we must be transparent: quality and longevity cannot be guaranteed during this period.
🌹 Our recommendation: seasonal beauty without compromise
For Valentine’s Day, we recommend choosing:
- high-quality seasonal flowers
- or garden-style / peony-style roses, which offer a similar romantic look with far greater reliability and longevity
Our goal is for your flowers to look stunning not only at the moment of delivery, but to bring joy for days to come.
If you need guidance, we are always happy to help you choose the perfect bouquet — one that reflects both your intention and our quality standards.
