How to Take Care of Your Peony Bouquet

Peonies are not just elegant, they are also long-lasting. If you take care of your peony bouquet, it can stay fragrant for several days longer than other floral bouquets. If you have received a Peony bouquet, there are a few things you can do to ensure they last as long as possible:

● Keep them cool: Peonies can be sensitive to heat but need direct sunlight. Keep your bright bouquet in a cool area, but ensure that it receives ample sunlight. Bedside tables and entryway credenzas are the perfect spots.

● Be mindful of oxygenation: With all flowers, it’s important that your bouquets have good airflow. Placing your peonies in a well-ventilated room helps to prevent fungal conditions and ensure longevity.

● Trim the stems: Trimming the stems a few days after receiving your bouquet can help them absorb water and nutrients more easily. Trim the stems at a 45-degree angle to keep them freshest.

● Refill the vase with clean water: Every few days, refill your vase with fresh water and flower food. If you don’t have flower food, a teaspoon of sugar can help nourish the flowers.

● Remove wilted flowers: As your bouquet ages, some of the flowers will begin to wilt. Remove these flowers to prevent them from affecting the rest of the bouquet.

The History of the Peony

Peonies have been regarded as one of the world's most beautiful flowers. These stunning blooms are native to Asia, Europe, and North America. The first record of peonies comes from China and was first cultivated in gardens nearly 2,000 years ago. At that time, they were mainly used for their medicinal properties treating headaches, and asthma, and relieving pain during childbirth. However, their beauty was not overshadowed by their utility as the chines translation for their name was “most beautiful.” Peonies also found their way into Greek Mythology. According to the lore, Paeonia was a beautiful nymph who attracted the attention of Apollo. When confronted by Aphrodite, the nymph became bashful and turned red. Out of jealousy, Aphrodite turned her into a red peony. The red peony has since represented bashfulness.
