How to Care for Cut Peonies

Tight peony buds open in a slightly warmer room; once open, cool air slows them. Give heavy heads space and clean water.

  1. Recut stems and use a vase wide enough for opening blooms.
  2. Change water often — peony foliage sours water.
  3. Move to a cooler room once they are open if you want extra days.

Peonies are listed as toxic if eaten by pets.
