Luxury Peony Bouquets

The Season's Finest Peonies, Wrapped in Gold and Navy

The Luxury Peony Bouquet is a generous, classic way to send fresh peonies: 10 or 20 export-quality stems, each 50 cm long, chosen from the best of what is in season and hand-tied in our Claremont studio. We wrap it in gold paper and deep navy, finished with ribbon, and deliver it the same day across Cape Town. The colours follow the season, so one month it might be soft pink and white, and the next something deeper and bolder. See the rest of this season's blooms in our peony collection.

Peony Colours Through the Season

Fresh peonies are only with us for a few months, roughly mid-October to late January, and the colours change as the season moves on. That is why this bouquet is built from whatever is looking best at the time.

• Early season: Coral Sunset peonies, bright coral that softens to peachy pink as each bloom opens.
• Mid-season: soft pink, blush and white peonies, the classic romantic mix.
• Late season: deeper reds and vivid pinks, bold and rich.

10 Stems or 20

Ten stems is a beautiful, full bouquet that sits happily on a dining table or a bedside. Twenty is an armful, the kind of gift that has to be held with both hands and makes a room go quiet when it arrives. If the moment is a big one, a proposal, a milestone birthday or an anniversary that deserves more than usual, go for twenty. For a single-variety bouquet in coral, see the Coral Sunset Peony Bouquet, and for peonies mixed with roses and delphinium, Heart and Bloom.

How to Open and Care for Your Peonies

We send peonies in bud or just opening 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.
