Heart and Bloom

A Peony and Rose Bouquet with a Flash of Blue

Heart and Bloom is a romantic peony and rose bouquet: coral peonies, peach and cream roses and sprays of blue delphinium, hand-tied in our Claremont studio and delivered the same day across Cape Town. The blue is what makes it. Set against warm coral and peach, it turns a pretty bouquet into one people stop and look at twice. Peonies are only with us for a short season, so this is a limited edition. You will find more of them in our peony collection.

What's in Heart and Bloom

• Coral peonies: full, ruffled heads that open and soften in colour over a few days
• Peach and apricot roses: the warm middle of the bouquet
• Cream and pale lemon roses: soft light between the brighter blooms
• Blue delphinium: tall spires for height, movement and contrast
• Delivery: same day in Cape Town when you order before 12pm, with a free handwritten card

Why Coral and Blue Work Together

Coral and blue sit on opposite sides of the colour wheel, so each one makes the other look brighter. Our florists keep the peonies and roses close together in the centre and let the delphinium reach out past the edges, which gives the bouquet a loose, just-picked shape rather than a tight dome. If you like this pairing, Electric Bloom takes the same idea and turns the colour up, with orange roses and purple stocks.

A Romantic Bouquet That Isn't Red Roses

Heart and Bloom was made for romance. It suits an anniversary, a date night, a birthday for the person you love, or a Tuesday when you want them to know. Peonies have long been linked with romance and good fortune, and pairing them with roses keeps the message clear without falling back on a dozen reds. For a bouquet of peonies alone, the Coral Sunset Peony Bouquet is ten stems of the same warm coral. More ideas sit in our romantic flowers.

Caring for Peonies and Roses Together

The peonies may arrive partly closed, and that is on purpose. They open over the next few days and last longer for it. Trim all the stems at an angle every two days, change the water often and remove any leaves below the waterline. Keep the vase out of direct sun and away from ripening fruit. If one peony is slow to open, roll the bud gently between your fingers. Our guide to peonies in South Africa has more care tips.
