Peony Parade

Fifty Fresh Peonies in One Enormous Bouquet

Peony Parade is our 50-stem peony bouquet: fifty fresh peonies in coral, deep pink and blush, hand-tied in our Claremont studio and delivered the same day across Cape Town. It is the biggest peony bouquet we make, an armful that most people need both arms and a bit of help to carry. Some heads arrive already open and ruffled, most are still round, tight buds, and over the next few days the whole thing opens into a wall of colour. This is the one for the moments that deserve everything. See the rest of the season in our peony collection.

For the Biggest Moments

Peony Parade is not an everyday bouquet, and it isn't meant to be. It is for the proposal, the engagement party, the milestone birthday, the opening night or the anniversary that marks a decade or more. Fifty peonies fill a room in a way no photograph quite prepares anyone for. If you want something generous but a little smaller, the 20-stem Coral Sunset Peony Bouquet or the Luxury Peony Bouquet in 10 or 20 stems are lovely alternatives.

A Short Season, So Plan Ahead

Fresh peonies are only in season in South Africa from roughly mid-October to late January, and fifty perfect stems is a lot to gather at once. If you have a date in mind, order as early as you can. Our guide to peonies in South Africa explains the season in more detail.

How to Look After Fifty Peonies

You will need a big, sturdy vase, or two or three smaller ones. 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 flowers 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.
