🔅Peonies will arrive in tight bud form that will begin to open quickly.

🔅In order for peonies to open fully, use properly measured flower food in their hydrating buckets, in room temperature water.

🔅Peonies have a relatively short vase life and blow open rather quickly. Knowing what stage your peony is in will help you determine how best to process your blooms to their fullest potential.

🔅There are basically 4 stages of peony development: •Tight Bud •Marshmallow •Cracking and • Fully Bloomed. Peonies can go from the Tight Bud stage to Cracking stage in 24 hours.

🔅Once peonies reach the Cracking stage, they generally reach the fully bloomed stage within 24 hours.

🔅We recommend having your peonies arrive 2-3 days prior to your event and keeping them at room temperature. 𝑫𝒐𝒏’𝒕 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒂 𝒄𝒐𝒐𝒍𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒓 𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒐𝒓. Let them open naturally.

🔅🐇If you need to open them quicker, place freshly cut stems in hot (not boiling) water. If you need additional speed, place them in the sun or in a heated space.

🔅🐢 If you need to slow down their opening, take stems out of water, wrap completely (stems and blooms) in newspaper, and lay flat inside a cooler or refrigerator. Make sure all fruits and vegetables are bagged up or removed from the refrigerator. Also, keep in the center section of the refrigerator - away from walls or the top of the fridge.

We just can't get enough of our favorite Spring flowers!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​🌱 Daisy •
A perennial that is a tried-and-true choice for your garden and will add beauty for years to come. Classic and hardy; these flowers blooms Spring through Fall depending on the variety. Full of charm with a sweet, delicate scent. Easy to use in a flower arrangement. Great for arrangements with country-side or wildflower aesthetics.

🌱 Sweet Pea •
These climbing annuals are delicate in appearance but are quite easy to grow. They come in almost every color. These beauties love full sun and rich soil. They love the cooler temperatures of late spring or early fall and will fade as summer temperatures peak. It is a one-of-a-kind flower with a sweet fragrance. A great addition to floral arrangements for a sprinkle of playfulness.

Choosing a favorite Spring flower is sort of like picking a favorite child, No? 🤫 TAKE A PEEK at few of our favorites!

🌱 Tulip • Comes in a rainbow of colors & can be used reflexed or not for a variety of shapes in a floral design.

🌱 Hellebore • 1st to bloom in the early spring (often even late winter!) These have a long bloom-time. Best when harvested late for longer vase life!

🌱 Ranunculus • Comes in every hue! With rows & rows of paper-thin petals, they may appear to be delicate, but are surprisingly hearty & can really hold their own in an arrangement!

🌱 Hyacinth • An early bloomer with the most amazing fragrance. These have an incredible vase life allowing that beautiful perfume to linger.

🌱 Wax flower • A favorite filler-flower! These have a lovely lemon scent, a modern look & add tons of texture to a bouquet.

𝑻𝒊𝒑𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒕𝒖𝒍𝒊𝒑𝒔:​​​​​​​​​Don’t be surprised if you cut your tulips and they grow in the vase. You may have to cut them twice!​​​​​​​​​They bend with the light so rotating them in the vase will help keep them upright.
Their stems are fleshy so using other flowers to support them in an arrangement will help keep them in their desired place.

Welcome visitors to your door the way you welcome Spring after a long winter... with tulips!

Nothing says Spring and joy like a tulip! Tulips bring hope that spring is near, that winter is coming to an end. They make us excited for the approach of a new season, sunshine, and warmth!
