Cherry Blossom Peak Bloom in Maryland

When do cherry blossoms peak bloom in Maryland?

The cherry blossoms in Maryland bloom late March to mid April, about a few days to a week after the cherry blossoms in DC depending on the type of cherry blossom.

So even if you miss the ones in Washington DC, you will still have a chance to see the cherry blossoms in Maryland.

How Long Does Peak Bloom Last in Maryland

Maryland cherry blossom peak bloom usually lasts around 2 weeks.  The peak bloom period is heavily weather dependent.

Because Maryland cherry blossoms tend to bloom later than in Washington DC, it’s usually the warm weather that makes the petals fall rather than rain or cold.
