Preserving Peonies At Marshmallow Stage - In Fridge - June 2025

Peonies are here. And they don't last long. With four-or-five peony plants coupled with some travel, the timing of bloom season isn't great this year. We're getting more peony blooms than ever, but they're all going to waste. Or...at least they *were* going to be going to waste. That was...until I came across this person who "Flower Farms" on Tiktok - her handle is Hidden Springs Flowers . She's a good follow on TikTok, but one video - in particular - taught me something I didn't know: You can 'extends' peony season by cutting them at the 'marshmallow stage' and sticking them in the fridge. Here, below are some of the cut peonies where I removed their bottom leaves: Below is the TikTok that she posted that details the process: @hiddenspringsflowers Replying to @user1379406190063 how to store peonies for weeks in a cooler. Make sure to grab them at marshmallow stage before they’ve opened or this won’t work. 🌸 #flowerfarm #...
