The Irresistible Charm of Peonies ~ A Summer Favourite

Few flowers capture the essence of summer quite like peonies. With their lush, ruffled blooms and soft, romantic colours, peonies are a long-time favourite among gardeners, florists, and flower lovers alike. Whether showcased in a garden bed or arranged in a hand-tied bouquet, their natural elegance and fragrance never fail to impress.

A Symbol of Romance and Prosperity

Peonies are steeped in symbolism. In many cultures, they represent romance, prosperity, good fortune, and a happy marriage. Unsurprisingly, they’re often used in weddings and celebratory arrangements. Their full, rounded blooms are seen as a symbol of abundance, both in nature and in life.

A Seasonal Star

Peonies are one of the true seasonal stars of late spring and early summer. Their short blooming window, typically from late May to early July in the UK, makes them all the more special. For a few glorious weeks, gardens and flower shops are filled with vibrant presence, from creamy whites and blush pinks to deep magentas and even coral tones.

Caring for Cut Peonies

One of the many reasons peonies are so beloved in floristry is their longevity when properly cared for. To get the most out of your cut peonies:

• Trim the stems at a diagonal before placing them in water.

• Use clean vases and fresh water to prevent bacteria.

• Keep them in a cool area away from direct sunlight and ripening fruit.

Peonies continue to open and change throughout their vase life, offering a beautiful transformation from tight buds to full, fragrant blossoms.
