Paeonia spp. · Dried Peony Petals · Fragrant Floral Botanical

Delicate dried Peony Petals with beautiful natural colour and a soft floral character, selected for botanical infusions, creative tea blending and culinary use.

Flowers from my Meadow Peony Petals bring one of the garden’s most celebrated flowers into the botanical pantry. Carefully dried to preserve their delicate form and natural character, the petals offer a beautiful individual botanical for those who enjoy working with flowers beyond the garden.

Peonies have been cultivated and admired for centuries, particularly across Asia and Europe, where their abundant blooms have become closely associated with gardens, art and traditional botanical culture.

The dried petals can be steeped as a simple floral infusion or combined with complementary flowers and herbs in your own loose leaf creations. Their delicate appearance also lends itself beautifully to selected culinary preparations, botanical garnishes and decorative food applications.

At Flowers from my Meadow, we keep it simple and uncomplicated: dried Peony Petals, carefully packed for your home botanical pantry.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Peony Petals?
Peony Petals are the dried petals of flowers belonging to the genus Paeonia. Our product consists of dried, cut petals selected for use in botanical infusions, tea blending and suitable culinary preparations.
What is the botanical name for Peony Petals?
Peonies belong to the genus Paeonia and the plant family Paeoniaceae. Because the exact species or cultivar has not been confirmed for this product, we identify it accurately as Paeonia spp.
What colour are your Peony Petals?
Our Peony Petals have rich magenta, fuchsia and burgundy-pink tones, with natural variation throughout the dried petals. As this is a botanical product, colour can vary slightly between harvests and batches.
Will Peony Petal tea be the same deep magenta colour as the dried petals?
Not necessarily. The colour of a dried flower does not directly predict the colour of its infusion. The finished cup may be considerably softer, and its appearance can vary according to the petals, quantity used, water
How do I make Peony Petal tea?
Add approximately 1–2 teaspoons of dried Peony Petals per cup, pour over freshly boiled water and cover. Allow to steep for around 5–10 minutes before straining. Adjust the amount and steeping time according to your preferred strength.
What does Peony Petal tea taste like?
Peony Petals have a delicate floral and botanical character. Because they are a single dried flower rather than a flavoured tea blend, expect the infusion to be subtle rather than strongly perfumed or sweet.
Do Peony Petals contain caffeine?
The petals themselves are naturally caffeine-free. An infusion prepared only from Peony Petals therefore contains no tea-derived caffeine. If you combine them with black, green or another caffeinated tea, the finished blend will contain caffeine.
Can I blend Peony Petals with other botanicals?
Yes. Their delicate character makes them useful for creating your own botanical combinations. Try pairing them with complementary flowers and herbs, beginning with small quantities and adjusting the blend according to your taste.
Where can I buy Peony Petals in South Africa?
Peony Petals are available directly from Flowers from my Meadow through our online store, with delivery within South Africa.
Can I use Peony Petals during pregnancy or while taking medication?
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, taking prescription medication, managing a medical condition or are uncertain whether Peony Petals are appropriate for you, consult an appropriate healthcare professional before use.
