Dazzling, Fresh-Cut Peonies Available for a Limited Time
Peonies are a stunning summer flower but also a flower with one of the shortest seasons. Peonies are perennials with a distinctive fragrance and one of the largest bloom sizes found anywhere. They are easy to grow and love the sun, preferring at least six hours of sun each day. The more sun they receive, the more they bloom. Peonies respond well to loose, nutrient-rich soil and moderate watering. At our San Diego flower shops and through our website, we are proud to offer peonies in many shades and as part of many floral designs. You can check out our peony collection online. Available while supplies last, our fresh-cut peonies come from the best flower farms in the country. This year, we have added even more peony floral designs as well as ensured we had more peonies available. However, they are going fast and supplies are limited! To provide more value, we have also priced our peony arrangements at a special price. The majority of our peony collection is now on sale at our San Diego flower shops and through our flower shop website. You can enjoy significant savings from peony arrangements of all sizes and designs. This even includes [...]
