However, individuals with specific plant allergies should always exercise caution and consult with a healthcare provider if unsure.

Why is the color of my peonies fading?

Peonies of all kinds will change color (specifically becoming much paler) as they develop and open! It’s totally normal and just another beautiful feature of the flower!

What should I do if my peonies aren't opening?

If your peonies aren’t opening after a day or two, you can try running the bloom heads under warm water and then blotting them dry. This helps dissolve sugars around the petals that keep them closed. Additionally, gently knocking the heads of the flowers on a table or counter can encourage opening without harming the blooms.

How can I make my peonies look fuller in the vase?

To give lanky peonies a fuller appearance in a vase, trim the stems down several inches and use a vase with a narrow opening. This arrangement holds the stems closer together, offering more support. Despite their skinny stems, peonies can achieve a voluminous look with the right vase support.
