Care Instructions
Your peonies will arrive in a tight bud stage to ensure safe delivery and longer vase life. Buds will begin to open within 1–2 days—please account for this timing if you need full blooms for an event. To speed up opening, place them in a warmer room and you can allow direct sunlight.
Open your box as soon as they arrive. Trim stems at a 45° angle, place in a clean vase with fresh water, and keep away from direct sunlight. Change the water daily and re-trim stems every other day to enjoy your blooms for as long as possible.
important to note
Peonies are a product of nature, and while we carefully curate each selection, blooms may vary slightly in size, shape, and tone based on peony variety. The color you choose represents arange of shades within that family—for example, soft pinks, whites/creams, or bright pinks—ensuring a beautifully natural and organic aesthetic.
