Care & Handling Instructions for Peonies
1. Upon arrival, peonies will still be in their closed bud form or starting to open.
2. Remove the bunches from the box and cut at an angle approximately 1” from the bottom of each stem.
3. Place stems in 3” of water to properly rehydrate your foliage. Peonies are big drinkers, so check the water often!
4. Remove any leaves from the bottom of the stems to assure that no leaves are sitting in the water.
5. If using the product later, store in a cooler at 36°- 38° F.
