Summer is approaching and one of our very favourite things about this time of year is that peonies are blossoming just about everywhere.
The delicate bowl-shaped blooms are the perfect way to breathe freshness and new life into your interiors or send to someone special as a thoughtful gift.

They flower from late-April to June and come in every shade apart from blue, making now the perfect time to indulge in a bouquet without the guilt of clocking up needless air miles. Structurally complex and heavenly scented, Arena Flowers says “there are around 40 species of peonies with around 6,500 cultivars and hybrids”, giving you plenty of choice for filling your vases.
Peonies symbolise good fortune and a happy marriage – no wonder they’re the top choice for brides across the country. They’re also a 12th Wedding Anniversary symbol.

With proper water changes and care (keep away from heat sources and sunlight), peonies can last up to ten days and can unfurl from the size of a golf ball to an impressive ten-inches wide.
As sales of the petals rocket and weddings gets into full flow, we round up the nicest bunches from our favourite florists.
Prepare to swoon over the best peony bouquets to order now before they’re gone for another season.

Bloom & Wild The Opal
So popular are peonies right now that letterbox flower trailblazer Bloom & Wild has a dedicated section on their website just for the variety.
There’s a sweet selection to choose from. Our hot ticket is The Opal, a delightful composition that looks straight out of Bridgerton. The bouquet is full of colour with five coral charm peonies the star of the show. They’re supported with bright bursts of chrysanthemums, delphinium, ruscus, ammi, scabiosa, salvia and asters.
The stems will arrive in bud, along with two packets of flower food for different days. Once they’re out of their cardboard box and into a vase filled with water, the peonies will slowly unfurl to showcase their beauty and heavenly scent. Using the flower food and changing the water will help The Opal bouquet last even longer, offering a jolt of joy with every glance. Blooming lovely.
