A Customer and Crew favorite at Trader Joe’s, the peony is a spectacular floral feat, boasting some of the most beautiful blooms in the plant kingdom. Part of their allure is their limited availability; our Buyer travels far and wide to wrangle enough peonies to fill our stores every spring. Last year, on vendor visit to solidify a peony purchase (consider them wrangled!), she was presented with an additional offer that she simply couldn’t refuse: a large lot of Peony Tulips at an exceptional price, to be grown exclusively for Trader Joe’s.

Unlike their name might suggest, Peony Tulips aren’t actually hybrids—they’re tulips named for their striking resemblance to the bursting bloom of the prized peony. Rather than the single layer of petals you’d find on a standard tulip, Peony Tulips, which are also called as Double Tulips, have multiple layers of sweetly scented petals, creating a dazzling, ruffled effect. They grow in an array of vibrant hues (pinks, yellows, purples, oranges, reds, whites, etc.) and boast equally exotic varietal names, like “Endless Love,” “Margarita,” and “Cilesta.” And thanks to their hardy character, these long-lasting Peony Tulips will remain flashy and fabulous for up to 7 days after you put them in water!
