5 Essential Tips for Caring for Your Peonies
Whether you receive The Peony Arrangement as a gift or you plant and cultivate them - we believe every bloom deserves to shine its brightest—especially the timeless Peony. To help your Peonies flourish and bring lasting beauty to your home or special occasion, here are five caring tips from our floral experts:
Choose the Perfect Spot
- Peonies adore bright, indirect light. Give them a place where sunlight gently warms without overwhelming, ensuring petals stay vibrant and full
Water with Love
- Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. Just like relationships, Peonies thrive with balanced care—too much water can weigh them down, and too little leaves them thirsty
Prune for Strength
- After blooming, trim back spent flowers and foliage to encourage healthy growth. This simple act nurtures future blossoms and keeps your Peonies looking their absolute best
Protect from the Elements
- While Peonies appreciate fresh air, strong winds and extreme heat can dull their beauty. Position them thoughtfully, indoors or in sheltered spots outdoors, to extend their grace
Celebrate Their Season
- Peonies bloom briefly but brilliantly—so savor each moment. Whether arranging them in our signature vase or gifting to a loved one, their elegance elevates every occasion
With a little care and our passion for perfection, your Peonies will continue to transform your space into a haven of natural beauty. Remember, we’re here to help every step of the way—because your moments deserve nothing less.
Benign neglect: Understanding When Less Is More
Peonies thrive on "Benign neglect". Unlike most perennials, they don’t need to be dug and divided every few years. In life—and sometimes in floristry—there’s a delicate art to knowing when to step back and let things thrive on their own. “Benign neglect” is that thoughtful balance of giving space, trusting nature’s rhythm, and allowing growth without interference.
We recognize that a bouquet, like your special moments, often flourishes best when nurtured with gentle care and the freedom to bloom naturally. It’s not about ignoring, but rather about embracing patience and confidence in the beauty unfolding before you.
Because in the end, true perfection sometimes comes from knowing when to hold on—and when to let go.
