When and how to visit our peony farm
We would love or you to visit the farm this season and see the peonies in bloom!
We get a lot of questions about the best time to come and how to go about coming here. Here are the most frequently asked questions we get.
Where is the farm?
We are just over a mile north of the cute little town of Spring Grove, MN. Our address is 18581 County 4, Spring Grove, MN 55974 and Google does a pretty good job of giving directions here.
You’ll see our bright blue gate as you pull up.
Spring Grove is:
2.5 hours south of the Twin Cities
1.25 hours south of Rochester, MN
25 minutes north of Decorah, IA
45 minutes west of LaCrosse, WI
When is the best time to come see the peonies in bloom?
Generally between Memorial Day and Father’s Day are when we have the most flowers in bloom.
The coral and red varieties are in bloom early in that timeframe. Then the pinks take over and finally the white varieties shine closer to the middle of June.
Is there a cost to visit and do I need a reservation?
Nope! You are welcome anytime during open hours to come. We are open everyday during peony season. Our hours are:
Monday: 9am - 6pm
Tuesday: 9am - 6pm
Wednesday: 9am - 3pm
Thursday: 9am - 6pm
Friday: 9am - 6pm
Saturday: 8am - 5pm
Sunday: 9am - 2pm
Please note that we do close a bit earlier on Wednesdays and Sundays.
After the peony bloom is over, our hours will slim down a bit for the remainder of summer.
Can I purchase a peony while I’m at the farm?
Yes! We have a huge variety of potted peonies available for purchase that you can take home and plant today. We also have fruit trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals that you might like as well.
I recommend shopping early in the season for the best selection. Click the button below to download our potted peony catalog. Keep in mind some varieties may be sold out.
Do you have bouquets? Can I pick my own bouquet?
Yes and yes! When available, we will have bouquets for purchase in the farm shop. The bouquets are 5 peony stems for $20.
If you would like to pick your own, please check in at the shop first for some instruction. U-Pick peonies are 10 stems/$30.
Do you offer group farm tours?
Yes, we love groups! If you would just like to come a browse the farm and see the flowers you are welcome to do so anytime. For a formal group farm tour we charge $5 per person that can either be paid through invoice or on site. Give me an email (Laura@HiddenSpringsPeonyFarm.com) to schedule your group tour.
