Additional Information
Please Note
Your flowers will arrive looking thirsty and sleepy. This is absolutely NORMAL. Please see our Flower Care tab on this page to learn how to properly care for and handle your flowers.
As flowers are a natural product of Mother Nature and monitor resolutions can differ, the exact color tones of this flower may vary to some degree.
Package contents and prices are based on availability and may change due to weather and market conditions. If a substitution is necessary, we take great care to ensure your order closely matches your original flower choice, even if this means substituting flowers of higher value. While we will make every effort to contact you, there may be rare instances where we are unable to reach you in time. In such cases, we may proceed with substitutions to ensure your order ships on schedule, even without prior verbal confirmation.
Caring for Your Peonies
Peonies require individualized care. These beautiful blooms will arrive in a range of stages — from tight, golf ball-like buds to blooms that are beginning to open. This natural variation is typical of how peonies ship. Follow the care steps below based on how your peonies arrive to get them event-ready.
Flower Care Steps – From Arrival to Arrangement
If Your Peonies Arrive in Tight, Closed Buds:
Prepare clean containers with at least 4 inches of fresh, cool water.
Remove all packaging and bands, and strip the stems of excessive leaves to eliminate bacteria buildup.
Using clean, sharp floral shears, cut 2 to 3 inches off each stem under cool running water and place immediately in the prepared water.
Store the peonies in a cool, dark room and refresh the water every 24 hours.
If Your Peonies Arrive Already Opening:
Do not process the flowers immediately.
Lay the peonies gently on their side in a floral cooler or refrigerator free of fruits and vegetables (which release ethylene gas that can damage flowers).
The morning prior to your event:
Prepare containers with fresh, cool water.
Remove all packaging and bands, and strip the stems of excessive leaves to eliminate bacteria buildup.
Cut 2 to 3 inches off each stem under cool running water and place immediately in the prepared water.
Store in a cool, dark room until ready to use.
