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.

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.

That short window is what makes twenty of them feel like an event rather than a delivery.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwenty Peonies for the Moments That Count\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwenty magenta peonies are made for the occasions people talk about afterwards.
