Tips to Extend Vase Life

• Harvest Timing: Cut peonies when the buds are soft and marshmallow-like to the touch but before they fully open.

• Conditioning:

  • Recut stems at a 45-degree angle underwater to prevent air bubbles.

  • Remove leaves that would sit below the waterline to prevent bacterial growth.

• Water Care:

  • Use clean, lukewarm water and change it every two days.

  • Add floral preservative or a teaspoon of sugar and a few drops of bleach to the water.

• Placement:

  • Keep peonies away from direct sunlight, heat, and drafts.

  • Cooler environments can significantly extend their lifespan.

By selecting the right varieties and following proper care techniques, you can enjoy peonies' beauty for 7–10 days or more in a vase.
