  •

  • Peonies will arrive in tight bud stage but always open very well.
  • They dry-store exceptionally well
  •  
  • Care and Handling:
  • Peonies should be hydrated out of the cooler in water with the proper amount of floral preservative.
  • The fleshy stems of Peonies can quickly cloud the water and so the water should be changed frequently.
  •  
  • Peonies dry store exceptionally well in a cooler and will still drink and open gloriously!
  • In ideal conditions, dry-stored Peonies can be hydrated up to 3 weeks later!
  • The blooms open quickly, and will only last a few days once hydrated, therefore don't hydrate peonies until you need them
  • Try selling buds to clients, watching the blooms open is a unique floral experience (and it gives them a longer vase life). 

Grading Information

  • Should be graded by stem length and bunched by 10 stems.
  • Florist quality Peonies should be a minimum of 50 cms tall.
  • In New Zealand Peonies are also graded by mm bloom diameter measured on the tight buds.

Grower and Breeder Information

  • Should be shipped with blooms showing colour but not open.
  • Careful packing is required to avoid shifting and shipping damage.
