Perfect Peonies

The Peony is named after the Greek God of medicine and healing. They come in colours ranging from red to white or yellow. They are often fragrant flowers and bloom in late spring and early summer. They add an element of romance and glamour and are one of the most extravagant flowers. There are so many different Peony flowers and they range in shape and style as well as colour. They are very easy to take care of and their scent will last throughout the entire blooming period. They are one of the most popular flowers and it is no surprise considering sumptuous beauty and fragrance, trouble-free nature and longevity.

To get the best out of your Peony flowers we would recommend the following care instructions:

Prepare your vase, make sure it is clean and wash it out if necessary.

Fill it about a third up with water.

Add a packet of plant food.

Change the water every day to ensure it is fresh.

Remove all the leaves that would be under water so they don’t rot.

Put the flowers stems in a bowl of water and cut them by half an inch diagonally at the bottom.

Make sure the flowers are placed out of direct sunlight in a cool place.

To speed up the blooming process put the flowers in warm water in a warm room.

To slow the progress down place them in a dark cool room.
