Peonies - Old Faithful Red

Old Faithful is dubbed to be the biggest red peony in existence. The broad buds, shaped like a rose, will transform to even broader flowers. They reveal a stunning yellow center once fully bloomed.

Sold by the bunch of 10 stems. 

Important Disclaimer:
Peonies are known for their short vase life and quick bloom cycle. These gorgeous blooms often arrive in tight buds and can open fully within just a day or two — especially in warmer temperatures. While their beauty is unmatched, please note that their vase life typically ranges from 3 to 5 days once bloomed. This is a natural characteristic of peonies and not a sign of poor quality.

Don't worry if some heads are smaller, they will still open and they all end up around the same size once in bloom. 

Pro Tip: Peonies need to be kept cool, and in an air conditioned room at all times

1) When you receive them cut off all the additional foliage you don't need and cut a good 5cm at least off the stems. 

2) Make sure your vase is tall enough to support the stems, peonies have very heavy heads. 

3) Make sure there is lots of water in the vase, and that no foliage is in the water (it just rots and makes your flowers die faster).  Change the water every couple of days and re-cut the stems each time. If your water goes cloudy, start again with fresh water and a clean vase. 

4) If you want them to bloom faster put them in a warm part of your house. If you want them to bloom slower keep them cool. You can put them in the fridge for a perk up. I like to leave mine in the fridge overnight, or in the coolest room of the house to keep them fresher for longer. Please do not leave them in direct sunlight or a room without air conditioning.
