ABOUT PEONIES
Peonies are the must-have flower of the late spring season. Loved for their soft, layered petals and beautifully full flower heads, they open slowly in the vase, revealing delicate texture and colour over several days. Their growing season is famously fleeting, typically lasting from late April through June. During this short window, peonies appear in a wide range of shades and forms, making them one of the most anticipated flowers of the year. Read more in our Peony Flower Guide.

SEASONAL & SOURCING DETAIL
FLOWERBX peonies are sourced from specialist growers who cultivate exceptional stems during peak season. Each stem is selected for colour, structure and freshness before being delivered quickly so the flowers arrive ready to open at home. Because peonies are naturally seasonal and harvested within a limited timeframe, they remain one of the most sought-after flowers of the year.

Size

The Peony is a medium length stem (measurement approximate).

Q&A

How long will my FLOWERBX peonies stay fresh?

FLOWERBX peonies typically stay fresh for 5–7 days in a vase with proper care. Their large blooms gradually open over several days, revealing layers of delicate petals and colour. Trim stems slightly on arrival and refresh the water regularly to extend their life.

How do I care for my peonies?

Peonies thrive with fresh water, trimmed stems, and a clean vase. Cut 1–2cm from each stem before arranging and remove any leaves that sit below the waterline. Change the water every two days to keep your flowers hydrated as they open. Place your arrangement away from direct heat or sunlight for best results.

Which vase is best for a 10-stem peony bouquet?

A medium-height vase with a slightly open neck works best for ten peonies. This allows the generous flowers space to open while supporting their stems as they soften. Our Glazed Fluted, Royal Windsor, and Small Mayfair vases are ideal choices. Explore our vase collection to style peonies beautifully at home.
