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
Sweet pea
The best-scented flower in the garden. Short-lived, so enjoy them in the first few days.
Lasts 4 to 6 days
Poppy
Silk-thin petals on hairy stems. Florists seal the stem ends so poppies drink properly.
Lasts 3 to 5 days
