Caring For Your Peonies. Our top tips to make your peony bouquet last longer.
If you are buying peonies we recommend you select ones that are still in bud, this will allow you to enjoy every stage of their development through to bloom. Don't be put off by their tight, golf-ball size at the beginning. As they bloom they will open out dramatically and can grow to become up to three times their original size.
The rate at which they will open will depend on many things, mainly the variety and the environment, if you have questions or concerns, i.e. you need them for a special occasion then feel free to have a chat with us, just pop into the shop or drop us a line at hello@madlilies.co.uk and we will be happy to help.
To ensure the longevity and beauty of your peonies, proper care is essential. Here are some tips to help you keep your peonies fresh and vibrant for as long as possible:
- Trim the stems: Before placing the peonies in a vase, trim the stems at an angle. This will help the flowers absorb water more efficiently and prolong their vase life.
- Remove excess foliage: Remove any leaves or foliage that would be submerged in water. This helps prevent bacteria growth and keeps the water clean.
- Use a clean vase and fresh water: Fill a clean vase with fresh, room-temperature water. Avoid using metal or copper vases, as they can affect the longevity of the flowers.
- Change the water regularly: Peonies are thirsty flowers, so it's important to change the water every couple of days. This helps prevent bacteria build-up and keeps the flowers hydrated.
- Keep away from direct sunlight and heat: Peonies are sensitive to heat and direct sunlight, which can cause them to wilt more quickly. To extend their vase life, place your bouquet in a cool, shaded area.
- Mist the petals: Mist the petals of your peonies with water using a spray bottle to keep them hydrated and fresh. Avoid spraying the flowers directly to prevent water spots.
