How should I select my ‘Fleur de Roy’ peony bouquet?
Guided by your local florist’s expertise and trusting Fleur de Roy’s reputation, you’ll search for a peony that is locally grown in Ontario, in harmony with, and respectful of the environment, and handpicked with care by local workers – the defining characteristics of a ‘Fleur de Roy’ peony.
Contrary to popular belief, not all peony buds soften like marshmallows before blooming—this varies across varieties and some remain firm until the moment of unfurling. Rest assured, our ‘Fleur de Roy’ peonies are guaranteed to blossom.
Lastly, create a bouquet with variety—some peonies, like the white ‘Duchesse de Nemours’, are deliciously scented, while others less so. You’ll find that some bloom swiftly, revealing their beauty at once, whereas the more bashful ones take their time to unfold.
How do I care for my ‘Fleur de Roy’ peony flowers bouquet?
Fill a clean vase with water at room temperature.
Trim the end of each Fleur de Roy peony flower stem by 2-3 cm, cutting diagonally at a 45-degree angle to enhance water uptake. Submerge the flower stems to one-third of their length in the vase, ensuring no leaves are underwater.
Position your vase away from direct sunlight, heat sources and drafts, and keep the peonies flowers bouquet indoors to avoid attracting insects with their vibrant hues and enticing aroma.
Refresh the water and re-trim the peony flowers stems every two days to prolong the joy of your Fleur de Roy bouquet.
If you wish to extend the life of your peonies, add a few ice cubes to the water in the vase and store them in the fridge overnight.
What if a peony bud won’t open?
Should a bud stubbornly refuse to bloom after 48 hours, isolate the peony flower stem, give it a fresh diagonal cut, and place it in a separate vase with warm water.
A few hours of sunlight can coax the bud to swell. Once it begins to open, reintegrate the stem with your peonies flower bouquet, keeping it indoors to prevent insects from being drawn to its fragrance and color.
