Peonies are one of those flowers that most florists list as a favourite. They have a lot going for them, a fragrance that is nothing short of divine, pretty colours, the fascinating way that they open from tiny buds to large, impressive blooms and their relative rarity (peonies are only in season around November to December) – so we florists always get very excited when peony season kicks in.

With all this going for these beautiful flowers it is no wonder that they are so popular with florists and brides alike.
