state flower of indiana

The state flower of Indiana is the peony (genus Paeonia).

Quick Scoop

  • Indiana officially adopted the peony as its state flower in 1957, replacing the zinnia that held the title from 1931 to 1957.
  • The state law does not specify any particular peony variety or color, so all garden peonies collectively represent the state flower of Indiana.
  • Peonies in Indiana typically bloom in late May and early June in shades of red, pink, white, and sometimes yellow, which is why they are widely used for Memorial Day decorations across the state.
