Peonies captivate from delicate bud to full bloom. To prolong this understated elegance, gently remove the packaging and place them in a clean vase:
- Deep Water: Peonies are thirsty. Fill the vase two-thirds full with fresh water, removing any leaves below the waterline.
- Regular Refresh: Change the water every 1-2 days and trim the stems at an angle. Gently wipe any sticky natural nectar from the buds with a damp cloth to help petals unfurl.
- Ideal Placement: Keep them in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight and AC vents. A cool environment is essential to extend their bloom.
