How should I select my ‘Fleur de Roy’ peony flowers?
For the best selection, cut peonies when the buds:
- Show some colored petals.
- Are not sticky to the touch
- Feel soft, in the “marshmallow stage.”
If these conditions are not met, please do not cut! It’s too early and the flower may not open.
If the flower is in bloom, you can cut at any time, it’s never too late.
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.
I need all my Fleur de Roy peony flowers to bloom immediately!
Patience is the essence of beauty. While various ‘quick’ flower blooming methods circulate online, they may shorten your peony flower bouquet’s lifespan. We advise against such practices.
