Eco-Friendly Peonies Bloom for Mother's Day in France

Mother's Day Gift Guide: Eco-Friendly Peonies Gain Popularity in France This Mother's Day, French consumers are increasingly opting for eco-friendly gifts, and the peony is emerging as a top choice. According to a recent segment on RTL Matin, only 15% of flowers sold in France are domestically produced. This makes locally grown peonies an attractive alternative to imported options, offering both a lower carbon footprint and a competitive price point. Marina Giraudeau, a contributor to RTL Matin, highlighted the peony's appeal, stating, "Being locally grown, its quality-price ratio is interesting, and its carbon footprint is much lower than that of an imported flower." The segment also underscores the popularity of peonies, noting their appeal similar to roses, which make up half of the flowers sold globally. Consumers are encouraged to ask their florists about the origin of their flowers to make informed, environmentally conscious choices this Mother's Day.
