How the Farm Plans Peonies for Mother’s Day

Spring / Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is an important planning date for the farm’s peony harvest. This newsletter describes covering the plants in winter to encourage an earlier flowering season.

Winter covering and spring timing

Patrick explained that the farm covers its peonies in winter so they bloom early for Mother’s Day. It is a specific detail of the farm’s production approach, rather than a guarantee that every variety will be ready on the same date each year.

Color choices in the original newsletter

Lavender peonies and Coral Charm were highlighted in the introductory article. The embedded email also listed dark pink, red, raspberry and white flowers. Buyers were shown pink viburnum and green snowballs as companion materials.

Order planning for a holiday

Holiday planning starts with quantities, colors and a delivery window. Refer to the current availability for the actual harvest and ask the farm to confirm a Mother’s Day program. Statements such as “ready now” in the original newsletter refer to that past crop.
