When to expect these plants to bloom in S.E. Pennsylvania Peony flowering occurs for seven to eight weeks, from the end of April until early June (hardiness zones 6 to 7). Flowers typically bloom in this order: woodland peonies, followed by tree peonies and then herbaceous species and ending with intersectional hybrids Many species and cultivars of hydrangea flower in Pennsylvania, mid July through August, with bursts of white flower color that slowly change to shades of pinks and reds.

Plan for outdoors. The lights and decorations are throughout the gardens which is a lot of outdoor walking to see everything. The only real "indoor" spaces are the conservatory (which I would plan on 30-45 min to walk through) and the restaurant. You'll love it. Longwood is beautiful!!!
I am planning to see A Longwood Christmas with my future fiancé. Actually, I am planning to propose at this beautiful venue! I see that it says lights come on at 12 pm and every 15 minutes after that but don’t understand what this means. Please help! I am coming from 2 hours away and want to make this visit as memorable as possible and that includes seeing the exhibits during the day but also want to experience all the beautiful lights.
