Overview
Peony is the long game of the flower farm. The game models a long-lived perennial with a three-year establishment: it needs 156 weeks before its first cut, and after that it gives one harvest each year in a late-spring window.
In Diversification's version of the crop, the note says it begins commercial production in year 4.
Growing it
- Plant between Apr 15–May 15 or Sep 1–Oct 31, when the soil is 45°F or warmer.
- It needs 156 farm weeks before the first cut, then a harvest window of May 20–Jun 25.
- Benefits from Support (stem netting and stakes, 6 coins) and no pinching.
- At full health a Flower Farm cut gives up to 13 stems. Without care it still gives at least 6.
- As a perennial it stays in the bed after a cut. It can only be cut once a year.
- Cool tolerant: freezing nights do not kill it.
Tips
- Plant it early in your farm's life: it is not frost tender, so it survives winters while it establishes.
- Its 67-coin base value is the highest of any cut flower.
