With small heads that impossibly nearly triple in sizes as they bloom, Elsa Sass is a double-flowered peony with flowers that grow in the shape of a rose. Velvety white, and very elegant blooms on short but think and sturdy stems. Pair with foliage like eucalyptus for a gorgeous display!
Sold by the bunch of 10 stems, that are approximately 50cm tall.
They open super quickly but don't be alarmed this is normal. ***Peonies whilst super beautiful are not long lasting flowers, please do not buy if you want a long lasting flower. They will last only around 3 to 4 days.***
Don't worry if some heads are smaller, they will still open and they all end up around the same size once in bloom - you might also receive them with little bits of brown spots on the leaves and bottom petals, this is a normal part of nature, please cut them off before placing in your vases.
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. We leave ours 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.
