About Peonies
Peonies are native to Europe, Asia and North America, and are among the most popular garden flowers. Unsurprisingly they are a symbol for luxury and indulgence as well as happy life and happy marriage. So special are these flowers that the Japanese shield the earliest peony blooms from the snow by protecting them with individual small thatched shelters.
Peony Care Tips
- If you want to encourage your peony buds to open sooner, rinse their heads under cold water. This should wash away the sap and allow them to bloom more quickly.
Peonies are very thirsty flowers, so make sure you keep your base or bowl topped up. - Once open, petals should be kept dry, as their delicate nature can make them sensitive to mould.
New Seasonality Disclaimer
Naturally, we work in tune with the seasons, which change as each week passes and the climate shifts. This may, from time to time, mean we have to create your bouquet using slightly different flowers from those pictured. We will of course make sure we work similar colours & scents into your design and keep it the same shape and style.
