Red Sarah Bernhardt Peony Bouquet: Twenty Magenta Peonies for a Grand Gesture

The Red Sarah Bernhardt Peony Bouquet in 20 stems is an armful of deep raspberry magenta peonies: twenty stems of Red Sarah Bernhardt, a double peony that opens into big, ruffled, many-petalled blooms. Our florists hand-tie it in our Claremont studio, where we have been making flowers since 1999, and we deliver it the same day across Cape Town when you order before 12pm. Each stem is 50 cm long and export quality, sent in bud with its own foliage and wrapped in white paper with a soft gold leaf print. More than 5,800 reviews across Loox, Google and Trustpilot are why people trust us with the gestures that matter most. For every variety in season, see our full peony collection.

Twenty deep magenta peonies do not whisper. They walk into the room first, and they stay the centre of it all week.

What You Get in the 20-Stem Bouquet

  • Flowers: 20 Red Sarah Bernhardt peony stems with their own green foliage
  • Colour: deep raspberry magenta
  • Stem length: 50 cm, export quality
  • How they arrive: in bud, ready to open over the next few days
  • Wrap: white paper with a gold leaf print, tied with ribbon
  • Extras: a flower food sachet and a free handwritten card with your message
  • Delivery: same day in Cape Town when you order before 12pm

What Twenty Red Sarah Bernhardt Peonies Look Like as They Open

The bouquet arrives as a cluster of round, glossy buds in deep raspberry magenta, packed among dark green peony leaves. Over the next few days the buds soften and unfurl into full, double, ruffled blooms with petals layered right to the centre. Red Sarah Bernhardt is the bold sister of Sarah Bernhardt, the soft pink peony first bred in France in 1906 and named after the French actress, and it keeps that same generous shape in a colour that sits between ruby and fuchsia. With twenty stems, the vase changes every morning, and by the end of the week you have a dome of magenta that fills the room. For more flowers in this rich palette, browse our romantic flowers.

Peony Season in South Africa Is Short

Fresh peonies are only available in South Africa from roughly mid-October to late January. That short window is what makes twenty of them feel like an event rather than a delivery. This is a limited edition bouquet, and we make it only while we can source Red Sarah Bernhardt stems that meet our standard. When the season ends, it is gone until next year. Our guide to peonies in South Africa explains the season and the varieties in more detail.

Caring for a Large Peony Bouquet

Twenty peony stems need a large, wide vase with plenty of water, because the blooms grow much bigger as they open. If you do not have one big enough, split the bouquet between two vases. Trim the stems at an angle, add the flower food sachet, and remove any leaves that would sit below the waterline. Change the water and re-trim every two days, and keep the flowers out of direct sun and away from ripening fruit. To coax a slow bud, roll it gently between your fingers or stand the stems in slightly warmer water for an hour. With this care, peonies last around seven days.

Twenty Peonies for the Moments That Count

Twenty magenta peonies are made for the occasions people talk about afterwards. Send them for a milestone anniversary, a proposal, a big birthday or a homecoming, or simply to tell someone, without any doubt, how you feel. They also make a striking gift for a mother or a friend who loves colour and never settles for ordinary. For a smaller gift, the 10-stem Red Sarah Bernhardt bouquet has the same flowers in a more compact size. If you would like twenty peonies in white instead, the Bowl of Cream Peony Bouquet in 20 stems opens into full, creamy white blooms.

Order before 12pm for same-day delivery in Cape Town. Peonies are a natural, seasonal flower, so each bud opens at its own pace and the shade can vary slightly from the photos.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many peonies are in this bouquet?

There are twenty Red Sarah Bernhardt peony stems, each 50 cm long, with their own foliage. The same peonies also come as a 10-stem bouquet.

What colour are Red Sarah Bernhardt peonies?

They are a deep raspberry magenta, somewhere between ruby red and fuchsia. The exact shade can look a little different in daylight and lamplight, and each bloom opens at its own pace.

What do red and magenta peonies mean?

Peonies have long stood for romance, good fortune and a happy marriage. Deep red and magenta peonies lean towards passion and love, which makes twenty of them a very clear message.

What size vase do I need for 20 peonies?

Use a large, wide vase that holds plenty of water, because peonies grow much bigger as they open. If you do not have one, two medium vases work well.

Why are my peonies still closed?

We deliver peonies in bud so they last longer. With fresh water and a warm room they open over the next few days. To help a slow bud along, roll it gently between your fingers or stand it in slightly warmer water for an hour.

What month can you buy peonies in South Africa?

Fresh peonies are in season in South Africa from roughly mid-October to late January. Outside those months fresh stems are very hard to find, so order while the season lasts.

Where can I order peonies in South Africa?

You can order fresh peonies from Fabulous Flowers for same-day delivery in Cape Town while they are in season. Every bouquet is hand-tied in our Claremont studio, and all of this season's varieties are on our peony collection page.

How long do peonies last in a vase?

Peonies last around seven days with clean water, a fresh trim every two days and a spot out of direct sun.

Can you deliver peonies in Johannesburg?

No. The Red Sarah Bernhardt Peony Bouquet is delivered in Cape Town only. You can also collect it from our Claremont studio.

Can I get peonies delivered today?

Yes. Order before 12pm for same-day delivery anywhere in Cape Town, and add your card message at checkout.
