Coral Sunset Peony Bouquet 10 Stems

Ten Coral Sunset Peonies, Hand-Tied in Cape Town

The Coral Sunset Peony Bouquet is ten stems of Coral Sunset, one of our most-ordered peony varieties, hand-tied in our Claremont studio and delivered the same day across Cape Town. It opens a bright, warm coral and softens to a peachy pink as the flowers mature, so the bouquet on day five looks different from the one that arrived. That slow change is half the pleasure. Each stem is 50 cm long and export quality, wrapped in white paper with a soft gold leaf print. For the rest of this season's blooms, see our full peony collection.

Why Coral Sunset Changes Colour

Coral Sunset is a semi-double peony with ruffled heads. On the first day it is a vivid coral, almost watermelon. As the petals open, the colour warms and fades towards peach and soft pink, and most vases end up holding a few shades at once. If you love the way a garden looks in late afternoon light, this is that, in a bouquet. You will find it alongside other blush and rose-toned stems in our pink peonies.

A Short Season, So Order Early

Fresh peonies are only in season in South Africa for a few months, roughly mid-October to late January, and Coral Sunset is one of the first to bloom. This is a limited edition bouquet, which means we carry it only while we can get good stems. When they are gone, they are gone until next season. Our guide to peonies in South Africa explains the season in more detail.

How to Open and Care for Your Peonies

We send peonies in bud because they last longer that way, and watching them open is part of the gift. Trim the stems at an angle every two days, change the water often, and take off any leaves that sit below the waterline. Keep the vase out of direct sun and away from ripening fruit. If a bud is slow to open, roll it gently between your fingers or stand the stems in slightly warmer water for an hour. Cared for like this, peonies last around seven days.

When to Send Coral Sunset Peonies

Ten peonies is a generous, grown-up gift. It suits a birthday, an anniversary, a thank-you that needs to land properly, or a romantic gesture that does not want to look like every other bunch of red roses. For a bigger statement, the 20-stem Coral Sunset bouquet doubles the volume. If you would like peonies mixed with roses and delphinium, look at Heart and Bloom or the brighter Electric Bloom.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many peonies are in this bouquet?

There are ten Coral Sunset peony stems, each 50 cm long, with their own foliage. If you want more volume, the same peonies come as a 20-stem bouquet.

Why are my peonies still closed?

We deliver peonies in bud so they last longer. Give them fresh water and a warm room and they will open over the next few days. To help a slow bud along, roll it gently between your fingers or stand it in slightly warmer water for an hour.

What colour are Coral Sunset peonies?

Coral Sunset peonies open a bright coral and fade to a peachy pink as they mature. Because each bloom opens at its own pace, you usually see several shades in the vase at once.

How long do peonies last in a vase?

Peonies last around seven days with clean water, a fresh trim every two days and a spot out of direct sun.
