As spring arrives in the southern hemisphere, Chilean growers start enchanting the world with their exquisite peonies. Renowned for their splendid fragrance and lush blooms, these Chilean flowers are highly sought after in global flower markets from late October to December.
Chile has unique climatic conditions that are ideal for growing peonies in the open field, without greenhouses. A favorable climate with mild winters and warm summers allows peonies to develop in optimal conditions. Nutrient-rich soil also plays an important role, which promotes healthy plant growth. Peonies are hand-picked to minimize damage to the flowers. Once harvested, the flowers are carefully sorted and processed to ensure freshness and quality. Advanced refrigeration technology ensures the flowers remain fresh during their journey to the final consumer.
This season, Chilean growers have taken a number of early measures to eliminate potential problems related to the bud cutting point that were unfortunately observed last year. Peony farms assure that their flowers now meet the required standards for bud opening stage, size, and stem length. Quality control measures at our supplier farms have been strengthened to ensure high standards.
This year, the farms have introduced new varieties featuring larger buds and highly demanded that will satisfy the most sophisticated tastes of customers.
Chilean peonies for the 2024 season are available in lengths from 50 to 60cm and include the following varieties:
Depending on the variety and bud size, the following packaging is available:
- 100-120 stems/HB (Half Box) measuring 105x34x13 cm and weighing 7-8 kg.
The farms accept orders 7-9 days before the scheduled departure date to ensure fulfillment and flight space availability. From late October to December, Chilean growers will offer various peony varieties in rotation. When farms provide availability updates, our managers will email customers with details about the available varieties for specific departure dates. Due to the high demand and limited quantities of peonies, we recommend promptly confirming your desired items.
Each year, the demand for Chilean peonies rises. Their exceptional quality is attracting an increasing number of florists and final consumers. It is anticipated that in the coming years, the export of Chilean peonies will continue to grow, creating new opportunities for buyers and strengthening the position of Chilean growers in the global flower market.
