Ruby Blush Peonies in Vase — a combination of vibrant red and soft pink — last 4 to 6 days in water. The contrast between the two tones is best preserved in cool, indirect light.

Replace the vase water every one to two days. Do not wait for the water to look cloudy — change it proactively to prevent bacterial build-up.

Trim 1 to 2 cm from the stem ends diagonally each time you change the water. Use a clean sharp tool each time.

Keep away from direct sun and warm spots. Red peonies hold their tone better than pink ones — positioning this arrangement in good conditions protects the softer tones most.

Remove any submerged leaves before placing in the vase. Pick off spent petals cleanly as they fall.
