Festiva Maxima Peony

Arranging Tips for Festiva Maxima Peonies

• Design around their bold texture: Use Festiva Maxima peonies as focal blooms in bridal bouquets or centerpieces.
• Pair with soft tones: Combine with pale pink roses, white ranunculus, or dusty miller to enhance their creamy petals and crimson flecks.
• Vase height matters: Use medium-height vases to support their full heads while allowing space for air circulation.
• Layer with greenery: Add eucalyptus, Italian ruscus, or ferns for contrast and fullness.
• Use odd numbers: Group peonies in odd numbers (3, 5, 7) for a natural and visually balanced look.

Care & Handling for Festiva Maxima Peonies

• Receive 3–4 days before the event to allow enough time for the tight buds to open.
• Hydrate immediately: Recut stems at an angle and place them in clean water with floral preservative.
• Store in cool room (not fridge): Ideal temp is 36–48°F; avoid storing near fruits or in extreme cold.
• Remove excess foliage to prevent bacterial growth in water.
• Change water daily and re-trim stems to maintain hydration.
• To speed up blooming: Place in warmer room with indirect light for a few hours, then return to cool storage.
