Peonies in Israel: when they are in season
Peonies are among the most asked-for flowers and among the most seasonal. You can send them in Israel for about half the year. When we have them, the bouquets with peonies appear below and in the shop.

Do peonies grow in Israel?
Yes, in the north. Growers in the Galilee raise peonies in greenhouses, under plastic and in net houses, and most of the crop is exported to Europe and the US in winter and spring. Greenhouse plants can flower from mid-January; plants in the open flower in April and May.
When peonies are in season
These windows move a few weeks from year to year with the weather. When a bouquet with peonies is in the shop, we have them.
- January to April: the Israeli season, from the greenhouses of the north.
- Mid-April to June: the European season, led by Dutch growers. Some Dutch peonies are kept in cold storage and sold into the summer.
- November to January: the Southern Hemisphere season, from Chile and New Zealand.
- Late summer and early autumn: the gap, when peonies are hardest to find.
Keeping peonies
Peonies arrive in bud or just opening and open fully over the next few days. Keep them out of direct sun and heat, trim the stems and change the water every day or two.
Questions
When can I send peonies in Israel?
Most easily from January to June, when Israeli and then European peonies are in season, and again from November to January, when they come from the Southern Hemisphere. Late summer and early autumn are the hardest months.
Why are the peonies closed when they arrive?
Peonies are cut in bud so they last. They open over the next few days in a vase.
Can I order peonies, lilac or lily of the valley?
Only in season. These flowers have short seasons, and when we have them, the bouquets with them appear in the shop. When each is in season: peonies, lilac, lily of the valley.
