4 Flowers To Hold You Over Until Peony Season
The beauty of peonies is fleeting. Luckily, these equally glorious blooms are here to hold you over until spring.
Lookalike flower varieties are easy to come by — any time of the year.
Summer: English Garden Roses
Like peonies, garden roses are available in a variety of pastel and coral hues. They also have "almost identical petals that mirror the peony's iconic 'powder-puff' petal," says Eric Buterbaugh, celebrity florist and Chief Floral Designer of The Bouqs. The likeness is especially evident in old-fashioned English roses when they are in bloom.
Fall: Dahlias
The beautiful, large heads on dahlias are available in a range of wonderful colors like peonies. But the flower's peony-flowering variety bear the closet resemblance to their short-lived counterpart.
Winter: Ranunculus
"Ranunculus are often mistaken for peonies – they're just smaller," Buterbaugh says. Ranunculus' tightly packed petal structure gives them a similar texture and shape. They also come in a variety of colors that are almost identical to peonies, according to Buterbaugh.
Spring: Double Tulips
Double tulips' multi-petal layers also mimic the structure of peonies. "They are probably the closest to peonies in terms of structure and appearance," Buterbaugh notes.
