Peony

Anyone who falls for the charms of the peony is in luck: there are more than 1000 varieties available in a host of shapes and colours. They come with a single row of petals, or with semi-double or double flowers. The cheerful peony comes in soft yellow, romantic white, candy cane pink or dark red. And the fragrance of peonies is particularly appealing and beautifully sweet!

The peony in bud really is an ugly duckling. But as soon as it starts to bloom, it’s like an explosion: an incredible quantity of delicate petals emerge.

From an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan! Perhaps this is the reason why the peony is considered a symbol of love, happiness, health, prosperity and blooming romance.

Peonies fit perfectly with the Recentered Stage style trend This style trend has been developed by the Flower Council for 2021. Contrasting colours are combined with soft pastels, for which you can use the peony - as you can see in this image.

Peonies in a bouquet with Phlebodium: a surprising and simple combination with these big grey leaves. We often start with the flower - what foliage fits well with this flower? But sometimes it’s also good to start from the foliage. So ask yourself: what foliage shall I use? Gather a few types of foliage and then consider what flower would be the perfect match. You will find that you produce different combinations than before. We think that the peony looks stunning in this combination with Phlebodium.
