Trader Joe’s is famous for its stellar frozen food section, Two Buck Chuck, and so much more that customers can enjoy year-round. But summer is the only time you can find peonies at the beloved grocer. Thankfully, that time has come and the gorgeous, fresh flowers are finally back in stock.
For a limited time, you can grab a bunch of beautiful peonies at Trader Joe’s stores. The grocery chain carries a few different kinds of peonies including single, semi-double, double, and Japanese (also known as anemone-form) that come in pink, white, purple, or red hues. If you're lucky, your neighborhood TJ's sells a good variety. Prices may vary depending on the location, but you can expect to pay around $7.99 for a bunch of five–which is a pretty good deal.
To make the peonies last longer, Trader Joe’s suggests giving the stems a fresh, 45-degree angle cut and placing them into a clean water-filled vase right when you get home, according to the chain’s website. The company also recommends displaying the flowers in a cool location that’s out of direct sunlight. And if you’re up for it, change the water and re-cut the stems every other day. The minor upkeep will totally be worth it.
Cheers to peony season, everyone! May their delightful aroma and ruffled blooms brighten your kitchen, bedroom, living room, or wherever else you chose to display them.
