Description
This crochet peony ornament is a single flower on a long, slender stem, with layers of white petals curling around a soft yellow centre and two green leaves. Every petal is a little rolled curl of crochet, so the bloom looks full and textured from every side, and a green crochet cup holds the flower head at the top of the stem. It stands 35cm tall and measures 8.5cm across at its widest, a natural height for a bud vase or a narrow jug. The white and green colouring keeps it fresh, with the yellow centre adding a touch of warmth.
Because it is crochet rather than a fresh cut bloom, it needs no water and will not wilt or drop its petals, which makes it an easy choice for a spot where real flowers would not last. We like it on a bedside table, a desk, a mantelpiece or a bookshelf, or in a hallway that wants a little life. A single stem suits a slim vase, a glass bottle or a small jar, and the soft peony form sits happily in a cottage style room or a plain modern one. It also makes a thoughtful little gift that lasts far longer than a bunch from the shop.
The petals, centre, leaves and stem are all worked in crochet, with the stem wrapped in green stitches along its whole length for a neat, even finish. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, and tease the petals back into shape with your fingers if they flatten. Keep it somewhere dry and out of strong direct sunlight to help the white stay bright. For a gift, tie a ribbon around the stem and add a handwritten card, or stand it in a small vase of your own so it is ready to set out.

Frequently Asked
How tall is the crochet peony?
It stands 35cm tall overall, and the flower head measures 8.5cm across at its widest point, a good size for a bud vase.
Does it stand up on its own?
No, it is a single flower on a stem, so it needs a slim vase, a glass bottle or a small jar to hold it upright. It comes as the flower alone, without a vase.
What colours is it?
The petals are white around a soft yellow centre, and the leaves, the cup beneath the flower and the stem are all a gentle green.
Does it need water or any special care?
It needs no water at all. Simply dust it with a soft dry cloth and gently reshape the petals with your fingers if they flatten over time.
Where does it look best in the home?
We like it on a bedside table, a desk, a mantelpiece or a bookshelf, where a single stem in a slim vase adds a soft touch of colour.
