After months of gray skies and cozying up indoors, it feels good to bring a little life back into our homes. Adding flowers is one of the easiest ways to do it—a few bright blooms or a simple touch of greenery can instantly refresh a room, making it feel warmer, more welcoming, and ready for spring. Peonies, in particular, have long been a favorite for many people—but there’s a catch: they only bloom for a few short weeks, from late spring to early summer.
But if you love these blooms and want to enjoy their beauty any time of year, Michaels has an easy solution. The retailer is selling realistic 27-inch faux peony stems that shoppers are so impressed with, they’re calling them lifelike in reviews on its website.

Why Peonies Are So Popular
Peonies have been loved for centuries and are often linked with romance and beauty. Unlike roses, which can sometimes feel formal, peonies are soft, whimsical, and work for almost any space and occasion.
Going the artificial route makes it easy to enjoy this flower’s beauty year-round. Plus, they only cost $4 per stem, so they’re an affordable way to add color and texture to your home, no matter the season. Perfect for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, or to brighten up a midweek bouquet, these stems let you create a beautiful display that stays fresh-looking without ever wilting.
How to Style Your Peonies
Peonies are surprisingly simple to style, and just a few stems can completely change the look of a room. Try arranging them in a vase with some greenery or leafy stems to give the display a fuller, more elegant look. You can also mix them with other blooms, like hydrangeas or smaller filler flowers. Additionally, varying stem heights helps the arrangement look more natural and effortless.
TikTok creator @brevnda recently shared how she styled her light pink stems from the craft retailer by arranging several blooms in a white vase in her entryway. Fans in the comments couldn’t get enough, calling her display “gorgeous” and “so pretty.”
More Spring Colors to Choose From
Michaels also offers white peony stems for $6, making it easy to mix and match colors for different rooms or decor styles. Each stem comes with four blooms and greenery, so they already look full even if you just bought a few. With options this affordable, refreshing your space for spring has never been easier.
