The Floral Edit You Need To Know About

If there’s a flower that defines late spring, it’s the peony – and this season, M&S is putting it firmly in the spotlight by offering a wide selection of flowers backed by a five-day freshness guarantee. From May through to June, shoppers can choose from around 20 different peony varieties, available both in store and online. Expect to find favourites like Sarah Bernhardt, alongside exclusive online bouquets in a range of colours – including an all-white arrangement from Kelly Hoppen’s signature collection. Prices start from £8 in store and £25 online, making it an accessible way to elevate any space or send a thoughtful gift.

Beyond their aesthetic appeal, peonies are prized for their longevity. Some varieties evolve in colour as they open, shifting from vibrant pinks to softer blush and cream tones over time – meaning they continue to change and add interest. Part of what sets the M&S Flower Market apart is its commitment to quality. It remains the only premium UK retailer with a dedicated ‘Flower Doctor’ – an expert in plant physiology who rigorously tests every stem to ensure it meets the brand’s freshness standards.

Among the standout options this season is the Kelly Hoppen bouquet  (£75), a sophisticated arrangement of 35 white peony stems paired with eucalyptus for a clean, elegant look. Elsewhere, the Grande Blush Peony (£35) offers classic romance with large, layered blooms that soften in colour as they open, while the British Pink Peony Bouquet (£55) combines 29 stems with eucalyptus for a soft, giftable arrangement.
