Avoid placing them in direct sunlight. Before placing in a vase cut stems at an angle. This trick increases the surface area of the cut, helping the blooms absorb more water and nutrients. Remove excess foliage about three-quarters of the way up the stem and make sure there is no foliage under the water line.
Peonies are thirsty flowers so make sure you top up the water daily. You should change the water completely every other day with cold water (you’ll notice the water getting a bit brown even after 1 day), as well as retrimming the stems to help them drink. There’s no need to deadhead peonies.
They have a naturally shorter vase life – around five or six days. Here are a few simple steps to help your peonies last longer. Peonies are affected by the heat, at night, place them in the fridge, or outside (if it’s cooler) to keep them from opening further. If you don’t have plant food (that comes with most flowers), you can add a bit of sugar to your water.
A peonies fragrance is perfect for freshening up the home. Alongside all their other amazing qualities, peonies also have a lovely fragrance. Pink and white double peonies have the most pronounced scent.
