Seasonal Flowers and Dahlia Tubers
Family grown in the heart of the Waikato
At Piako Botanicals, we believe flowers should bring joy to everyday life. From our family-run flower farm in the Waikato, we grow seasonal blooms and dahlia tubers with care, patience, and generations of Dutch growing knowledge behind us.
Everything we produce is grown by hand, spray free, and carefully selected to bring beautiful flowers into homes and gardens across New Zealand.
Our Story
Piako Botanicals is a family-run boutique flower farm based in Morrinsville, Waikato, NZ. What began as a love for growing has grown into a small-scale operation focused on producing beautiful, seasonal flowers and quality dahlia tubers.
Our main focus is our love of dahlias. The fascination born from the precise, radial symmetry of each flower is a reminder that nature is the world’s most talented artist. Every stem we harvest is grown by hand with care, patience, and a whole lot of love.
Growing isn’t just what we do; it’s in our DNA. Our story begins with a Dutch heritage rooted in a love for the land. From the iconic tulip fields of the Netherlands to the soil right here at home, generations of growing knowledge and hands-on techniques continue to shape the way we farm today.
We grow completely spray and pesticide free, believing that beautiful flowers should be grown as naturally and thoughtfully as possible.
What We Grow
Our cut flowers are grown right here on the farm and picked fresh during the season. Dahlias are at the heart of what we do, supported by a changing mix of complementary blooms.
We believe flowers are more than just decoration. A bouquet can shift the mood of a room, brighten a hard day, and help people celebrate, comfort, connect, and show love. There’s something special about the way flowers make people feel, and we don’t think that should be reserved for special occasions.
At the end of each season, we carefully lift and divide our dahlia tubers, selecting the best to offer for sale. Each one has been grown, handled, and stored by us, so you can plant with confidence.
No imports, no shortcuts, just locally grown flowers that reflect the season they come from. Whether you’re bringing fresh blooms into your home or planting for the season ahead, everything we offer is grown with care right here in the Waikato, with a focus on quality, affordability, and flowers that people can enjoy every day.

Our shop opens seasonally for fresh flowers, bouquets, bloom buckets, flower subscriptions, gift vouchers, and dahlia tuber releases.

Piako Botanicals Purple Reign is a seedling bred by us and now in its third year. It is a captivating decorative seedling with lush, densely packed blooms and broad, gently rippled petals that catch the eye from across the garden. It grows tall and sturdy, holding its flower heads upright on long strong stems and adds a rich, jewel-like presence to any high-end floral design.
This variety features beautifully structured, loosely arranged flowers in a luminous magenta-purple tone, carrying a deep, velvety richness at the shadowed centre as they mature. Under natural and studio lighting alike, it holds its rich purple tone remarkably true, rather than washing out or shifting pink — a quality that makes it especially prized for photography and styled arrangements. As the season progresses, its broad, flat petals catch the changing light, giving each full-bodied blossom an ethereal, multi-dimensional depth in the field.
As a cut flower, it offers a fantastic vase life and a distinct, velvety richness that pops effortlessly against paler blooms, making it an inspired choice for modern bridal bouquets and elegant late-summer arrangements.
