Blooms at Their Best
Cutting Peonies
- Don't cut all the leaves off the stem. "You must leave one or two on the stem for the plant to thrive," says nursery owner André Viette.
- Cut when the bud is just opening. Don't cut full-bloom peonies.
- If your peonies are budding and your party's not until next week, use this tip from Viette: "Cut the buds with a lot of color showing, and refrigerate them without water for up to a week." Recut the stems before arranging to get the right height.
