The many varieties of peonies
With over a thousand varieties worldwide, peonies offer a rich diversity of forms, colours and personalities. From delicate pinks and deep reds to soft yellows and crisp whites, each variety of peony flower brings something special. The pink peony rose is the most commonly used in floral design, loved for its versatility and romantic appeal. Whether compact and classic or voluminous and dramatic, peonies add visual poetry to any arrangement. At Daily Flowers, we hand-select each peony flower for its bloom size, colour depth and longevity – ensuring only the best make it into our seasonal bouquets.
Pink peony roses: the essence of spring
Nothing captures spring quite like a pink peony rose. Known for their lush, layered petals and soft fragrance, pink peony roses embody elegance and femininity. Ranging from pastel blush to bold magenta, they’re a favourite for weddings, love notes and moments of appreciation. As the most beloved peony roses, they carry meanings of prosperity, good luck and a happy marriage – perfect for new beginnings. Whether gifted or kept for yourself, peony roses bring a moment of calm luxury into any space during peony season.
The best time to buy peonies
When is peony season at its peak? The answer is: May and June. That’s when peony flowers are at their fullest and most fragrant. For the best results, we recommend purchasing your peony bouquet when the buds are just beginning to open – this gives you a longer display and the joy of seeing them unfold. Since the peonies season is so short, it’s wise to order early. At Daily Flowers, our online shop and boutique store offer only the freshest, hand-selected peonies during their blooming window.
How to style your peonies bouquet
A lush peonies bouquet is stunning on its own, but also pairs beautifully with complementary flowers and accessories. Whether you’re arranging a dining table centrepiece or elevating your workspace, peonies bouquets bring volume, softness and charm. Style yours with a minimalist vase, soft candlelight or a stack of coffee table books for a look that’s both elegant and intentional. The full, rounded blooms of a peonies bouquet make a natural focal point in any setting.
Peony care tips to prolong their beauty
To keep your peony bouquet fresh for as long as possible, follow these care tips:
-
Use a clean vase filled with lukewarm water
-
Add flower food to the water
-
Remove any leaves below the waterline
-
Cut stems diagonally before placing in the vase
-
Refresh water every two days
These small rituals make a big difference – and let your peonies bloom to their full potential. Place them in a cool room away from direct sunlight, and enjoy every stage of their unfolding.
