Rule #1 - Keep these babies COOL!

Peonies are extremely heat sensitive! We repeat these divas are heat sensitive!

You’ll want to keep your peonies in a cool, air-conditioned room away from direct sunlight.

Warm, bright spots will cause peonies to bloom faster—shortening their vase life. Too warm a location will cause them to wilt!

Rule #2 - Care for them regularly

Give your peony babies a nice clean vase, filled with clean cool water. Remember to refresh your vase water every 2-3 days and give these ladies stems a good trim (5-7cm) to promote water intake. Any wilted leaves should be removed.

We have a whole write up on flower and vase care right here!

Flower Vase Care Tips here The Life Cycle of a Peony

In general, depending on the variety, peonies have a vase life of 3-6 days. Each variety has its own personality and behaves differently.

Some peonies will fade naturally with time…

All peonies will have a dramatic shower of petals at the end of their vase life. We told you they were divas!
