You can expect to receive your pre-ordered peonies towards the later half of May 2025. During the normal season, delivery time for peonies is max 2 weeks starting annually in May. We often send peonies from Taivassalo much faster, but delivery takes a few days more than for our national transports. Orders will be shipped from Taivassalo on Mondays for a quick trip across the sea during the weekdays.

The prices of our peonies include VAT at the Finnish tax rate (25,5%). All orders over € 250 have free delivery.

The delivery price (stated below and calculated automatically in cart) includes all the packaging costs of the peonies packed with special care for the international trip. Transportation of your order is handled by Matkahuolto in Finland, PostNord in Sweden and Omniva in Estonia. Delivery is to a pick-up point of your choice by the service provider. Delivery time after we ship the plants is 2 – 5 days.

Tall stems (over 55 cm) may need to be folded / cut to fit the package. In the long run, this has little effect on the vitality of the peony. We will send you a new email about the delivery when we start packing your order.

PostNord / Omniva will notify you when your order can be picked up.

The consumer has the right to cancel their online store purchase up to 14 days after delivery. Please contact us.

A peony which has been planted is not suitable for returns. A plant in sale condition can be returned and the sale therefore refunded. Costs of the return shipment will be deducted from the refund.

We follow the plant purchase safety condition recommended by Viherympäristöliitto (Taimistoviljelijät ry), according to which the growth start guarantee for our plants is valid for 45 days from the delivery date. A reclamation must be made before the end of this warranty period. ( taimistoviljelijat.fi/ostoturvaehdot )

We adhere to peony variety authenticity.

In the case of peonies, the blooming during the first couple of years can differ from the blooming of the final, full grown peony. The shape of a flower can be different and the shades can vary. Sometimes, however, the peony blooms in a distinctly different way than it should. If the peony you have purchased (with documentation of purchase) is not the right variety, we will replace you with a new peony of the correct variety, if the stock situation allows it. This replacement does not include freight costs, only the new correct peony plant. Please contact us.
