Below are a few tips to get the best vase life from your peonies

  • Fresh water, change your water frequently to make sure bacteria doesn’t build up in the water. This can clog peony stems reducing their vase life

  • Recut your peony stems when changing the water

  • Add a teaspoon of sugar to the water, sugar is a food source for peonies. It can give your blooms a little boost

  • Cut your peony stems at a long angle, about 45 degrees or more, this increases the amount of water each stem can absorb.

  • Keep flowers out of direct sunlight or in a cooler room

Once your peonies have opened fully, expect around 5-7 days of enjoyment
