These &#8216;instafamous&#8217; blooms are adored for their beauty, but there&#8217;s so much more to love. Let\u2019s dive into why peonies make the perfect gift, plus our top tips for peony care and how to style these stunning stems at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cm-text-color has-text-color has-link-color has-inter-font-family wp-elements-570b092dcbfa0b4b5cc9ba3b4bf227d4\"><strong>When Are Peonies in Season?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cm-text-color has-text-color has-link-color has-inter-font-family wp-elements-32d6731f297aeccda39b64e7056d990f\">Peonies are fleeting beauties, typically in season from late October through November. Their short-lived availability only adds to their allure, making us want them even more during that short but sweet window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.interflora.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog-Feature-Images-32-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.interflora.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog-Feature-Images-32-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.interflora.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog-Feature-Images-32-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.interflora.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog-Feature-Images-32-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.interflora.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog-Feature-Images-32.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cm-text-color has-text-color has-link-color has-inter-font-family wp-elements-03cab8d49951285edd947b70f5c6384d\"><strong>How Long Do Peonies Last?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cm-text-color has-text-color has-link-color has-inter-font-family wp-elements-2ad5db1e42717ae9d992f0f1b42aeae4\">With their short vase life\u2014around five to seven days\u2014peonies make a bold yet brief statement. That\u2019s why most florists, including us, send them in bud form. While they may look a little underwhelming upon arrival, just wait! Within a few days, those tight golf ball buds will unfurl into magnificent, fluffy blooms. It&#8217;s like watching a little bit of magic happen in your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cm-text-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4f2f91a8f366a5b032921a2c7e1432b7\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:500\"><strong>Why Haven\u2019t My Peonies Bloomed Yet?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cm-text-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3258fd6b97cfb347aa87ef5a42e916a6\">If you\u2019re eager to see your peonies in full bloom, here are a few tips to help them along:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-inter-font-family\"><strong>Squeeze Test:<\/strong> Gently press the flower head.

Whether you&#8217;re celebrating an anniversary, birthday, or simply want to say &#8220;congratulations,&#8221; a bouquet of peonies is always a thoughtful and beautiful choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cm-text-color has-text-color has-link-color has-inter-font-family wp-elements-67e8eff0d18318d568c32e9543555ef8\">Peonies are also a popular wedding flower, thanks to their symbolism of good luck and a happy marriage.

Originally cultivated in China, where they are still considered a symbol of wealth and honour, peonies made their way to Europe in the late 17th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cm-text-color has-text-color has-link-color has-inter-font-family wp-elements-20dd7a45657210a9642b802a94667d14\">The flower&#8217;s name comes from Greek mythology. According to legend, Paeon, a student of medicine, was turned into a peony by the gods to save him from the jealousy of his tutor, Aesculapius. Paeon had used the now-famous peony root to heal Pluto, which sparked the envy of his teacher. To this day, peony root is still used in Chinese medicine, continuing the flower\u2019s long legacy of healing and wellness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cm-text-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-94219c60ca2757980deecfb41855921a\">How\u2019s that for a fascinating floral history?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:27px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.interflora.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog-Feature-Images-33-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.interflora.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog-Feature-Images-33-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.interflora.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog-Feature-Images-33-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.interflora.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog-Feature-Images-33-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.interflora.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog-Feature-Images-33.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peonies are like the trendsetters of the flower world\u2014chic, stylish, and a little bit sassy.
