Excited to see those beautiful peonies in full bloom? Here are some easy tricks from a professional florist to help your peonies open up faster:
1. Trim the stems
Cut about 1-2 inches off the stems at an angle to help them absorb water better. This will kick-start the blooming process.
2. Place in warm water
Fill a vase with warm (not hot) water and place the peonies in it. Warm water encourages the flowers to open more quickly than cold water.
3. Give them sunlight
Place your peonies in a sunny spot for a few hours. Sunlight helps speed up the blooming process, but don’t leave them there too long—just enough to encourage the flowers to open.
4. Loosen the buds
Gently loosen the outer petals with your fingers. This helps the buds open up faster without damaging the flowers.
5. Use flower food
Flower food provides nutrients that can help the peonies bloom faster. If you don’t have flower food, mix a teaspoon of sugar into the water to give them an extra boost.
With these simple tips, your peonies will bloom beautifully in no time. Need fresh peonies or other quality flowers? Order from Floridens Flowers and Gifts to get the best blooms delivered to your door!
