Coral Sunset Peony Bouquet 20 Stems

Twenty Coral Sunset Peonies in One Generous Armful

The 20-stem Coral Sunset Peony Bouquet is our largest Coral Sunset bouquet: twenty peonies, hand-tied in our Claremont studio and delivered the same day across Cape Town. It is the one you choose when ten feels polite and you want the room to go quiet when it walks in. Twenty heads sit close together in a full, rounded dome, so it looks lush from every side and fills both arms when you hold it. Coral Sunset opens a bright coral and softens to a peachy pink over the following days, so twenty blooms turn into a whole spread of warm shades. It arrives wrapped in white paper with a soft gold leaf print. See the rest of the season in our peony collection.

Choosing Between 10 and 20 Stems

Both bouquets use the same Coral Sunset peonies. The 10-stem bouquet is a beautiful gift that sits happily on a bedside table or a desk. Twenty stems is a different thing altogether. It is an armful rather than a handful, it fills a large vase, it reads from across a room, and it makes the kind of first impression people photograph before they put it in water. If the occasion is a big one, go for twenty.

For Engagements, Anniversaries and Big Moments

Peonies have long been linked with romance and good fortune, which is why they turn up at so many engagements and weddings. A full armful of coral peonies suits a proposal, a milestone anniversary, a new home or a "just because" that you want remembered. For something romantic with a mix of flowers, Heart and Bloom pairs coral peonies with roses and blue delphinium. More ideas sit in our romantic flowers range.

Why Coral Sunset Changes Colour

Coral Sunset is a semi-double peony with ruffled heads and one of our most-ordered varieties. It starts as a vivid, almost watermelon coral. As each head opens, the colour warms and fades towards peach and soft pink. With twenty stems opening at their own pace, the bouquet shifts a little every day, and that is a big part of its charm.

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, so we carry it only while good stems are available. Our guide to peonies in South Africa covers the season and how to care for them.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many peonies are in the large bouquet?

There are twenty Coral Sunset peony stems with their own foliage, hand-tied and wrapped. The same peonies are also available as a 10-stem bouquet.

What size vase do I need for 20 peonies?

Use a tall vase with a wide mouth so the heads have room to open. Peonies roughly double in size as they bloom, so give them more space than the buds seem to need.

Why are the peonies closed when they arrive?

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

How long do peonies last?

Peonies last around seven days if you trim the stems every two days, change the water often and keep them out of direct sun and away from ripening fruit.

Do you deliver this bouquet outside Cape Town?

No, this bouquet is delivered in Cape Town only. Order before 12pm for same-day delivery, or collect from our Claremont studio.
