Care Instructions

Your FLOWERBX delivery comes directly from the grower and is sourced to order, meaning they are the freshest flowers available.To enjoy your flowers for longer, follow these simple steps:

• Remove any foliage that would be below the waterline to avoid contaminating the water

• Re-cut the stems at a 45° angle to encourage maximum water absorption

• Place the stems in a clean vase with freshly-drawn, lukewarm water as soon as possible

• Ensure the flowers are positioned outof direct sunlight, away from drafts or heating and avoid extreme temperatures

• Change the water regularly to keep the flowers happy and healthy

• Flowers are a natural product and on rare occasions arrive with insects on

• Peonies may arrive with sap on the buds - this can be removed gently with warm water

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.

Can I get same-day delivery for Peonies in London?

Yes, same-day peony delivery is available in London for orders placed before our daily cut-off. This ensures your flowers arrive fresh and ready to open beautifully at home. For addresses outside London, we offer reliable next-day delivery across the UK. Check delivery options at checkout to confirm availability.

When are peonies in season?

Peonies are typically in season from late April through June in the UK. This short window makes them one of the most anticipated flowers of the year. During peak season at FLOWERBX, you’ll find a range of colours and varieties arriving weekly. Explore our full peony collection to enjoy them at their freshest.

What is a double peony and why is it unique?

Double peonies are known for their densely layered petals and rounded bloom shape. Unlike semi-double varieties, they contain many overlapping petals that create a fuller, abundant appearance. This structure gives arrangements a soft, bountiful feel that’s especially striking in single-stemmed bunches.

What occasions are these peonies best for?

FLOWERBX peonies are perfect for spring celebrations, early summer birthdays, and thoughtful everyday gifting. Their feminine colour palette brings charm and beauty into the home, making them a highlight in the floral calendar. They’re also popular for seasonal events and weddings, bringing a romantic look to any occasion.

What do pink peonies symbolise?

Pink peonies traditionally symbolise admiration, gratitude, and romance. Their soft colour and generous bloom make them a meaningful choice for gifts celebrating appreciation or affection, widely associated with joyful occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, and spring celebrations.

What makes FLOWERBX peonies different?

FLOWERBX peonies are sourced directly from leading growers for abundant bloom size and freshness. Our signature single-variety bunches focus on the highest quality of seasonal stems, featuring unique varieties and exceptional vase life.
