About the flowers
Peony
Bought in bud, peonies open over two or three days into huge blooms. Short season, roughly April to June in the UK.
Lasts 5 to 7 days
Delphinium
Tall spikes of true blue. Delphiniums drop petals if they’re short of water, so keep the vase full.
Lasts 6 to 8 days
Sweet William
Dense heads of small, spicy-scented flowers. A cottage-garden favourite in early summer.
Lasts 7 to 10 days
Lavender
Fresh lavender scents a room and dries well once the bouquet is past its best.
Lasts 7 to 10 days, then dries
