The Blooming season takes place in a time frame of 2 months, April and May, and in our garden, it generally follows this pattern:

Single flower tree peonies are the first to bloom together with the semi-double flower tree peonies, which flower from early April to mid April. They are then followed by double-flower tree peonies and when they finish around late April, the peonies belonging to the P. rockii species begin to bloom. Flowering of the Rocki peonies ends by mid May and, at the same time, the delavayane peonies flower. Early May also sees the blooming of the herbaceous peonies, that generally gratify our visitors until the end of May.

Peony flowering time coincides with that of the viburnum, prunus, wisteria and climbing rose, making for lots of striking areas to visit in our garden.

Blooming Season 2020
The Moutan Botanical Centre will be open for the blooming season 2020 from Saturday April 4th till Sunday May 31st. *, including during all festivities and Holidays.

During this period of time, many activities will take place at the Peony Garden: we will discover the history of this amazing garden with dedicated guided tours and there will be “creative green labs” to bring peolple closer to plants in general and Peonies in particular.
