Care & Handling for Festiva Maxima Peonies

To ensure your Festiva Maxima Peonies arrive and perform at their best for your wedding, event, or floral design, follow these professional handling tips:

Upon Arrival:

• Unpack Immediately: Remove your peonies from the box as soon as they arrive. Inspect for any transit-related stress (some bruising or soft petals are normal and will shed as blooms open).
• Trim Stems: Cut ½ to 1 inch off the bottom of each stem at a 45-degree angle using sharp floral shears or a sanitized knife. This opens the stem for hydration.
• Hydrate: Place stems in fresh, clean, room-temperature water for a minimum of 4–6 hours before arranging. Add flower food if provided.
• Storage: Store in a cool location away from direct sunlight, drafts, and fruit (which emits ethylene gas that can shorten vase life).

Vase & Blooming Tips:

• Closed Blooms? Peonies often arrive in bud form. To speed blooming, place in warmer water and a warmer environment (65–75°F). Gently massage the outer petals to encourage opening.
• Open Blooms? For events in 1–2 days, store in refrigeration (34–38°F) to slow blooming.
• Change Water Daily: Replace with clean water and re-trim stems every 24 hours to maximize vase life and bloom quality.

Vase Life:

• Average vase life is 5–7 days, depending on environment and freshness at delivery. Peonies are known for their showy, short-season glory — enjoy them at their peak!

Design Tip:

• Festiva Maxima’s white petals with crimson flecks pair beautifully with blush roses, dusty miller, white ranunculus, and garden roses in classic, romantic designs.
