As soon as they arrive:

• Bring them inside and unpack immediately
• Recut 1–2 inches off the stems
• Place in a clean vase with cool, fresh water

To keep them looking their best:

• Keep them out of direct sun and away from heat vents
• Change the water and refresh the stems every 1–2 days
• Enjoy the show—peonies often change beautifully as they open

Each bundle includes 10 peony stems. Some stems may have a side bud, which may open later (or not at all). Side buds are a natural part of peonies and can add texture and charm to an arrangement. If you prefer, you can simply snip off any firm, smaller side buds.

Don’t panic—this is normal! Peonies travel best when they arrive a bit thirsty and closed. They perk up quickly with a little care:

1. Unbox and remove any foliage that would sit below the waterline.
2. Recut 1–2 inches off the stems at an angle.
3. Place them in a clean vase with cool, fresh water.
4. Give them a couple of hours to rehydrate—most bouquets noticeably plump up and begin to open.

We’re located in North Carolina, so our peonies often bloom earlier than many other growers. Last year, our first harvest began early to mid-April, and our main production typically runs four weeks—but weather always has the final say.

We ship orders out on Tuesdays and Thursday for overnight delivery. Simply select an available arrival date you wish to receive your peony bundle.

Because we’re a small, family-run farm with limited harvest windows, we can’t take requests for specific colors or varieties. Your bundle will be Grower’s Choice—filled with the most beautiful peonies blooming during your selected week. (Bundles may include a mix of Sarah Bernhardt, Kansas, and Festiva Maxima, or it may be all one variety if that’s what’s peaking.)
