Peony buds not blooming
Comments (1)How much are you watering them? Peonies do not like a lot of water. It could be due to thrips also. Try treating it with a fungicide early in the buding process this spring. You may even try moving it in September to an area that is not infected....See MoreTree Peony with herbaceous peony buds growing
Comments (3)Break the shoots off in the short term. Long term solution should involve increasing the depth that the herbaceous root stock resides. You can do this by either increasing the grade by ~2" or digging up and replanting ~2" deeper. The tree peony will begin to grow its own roots and the herbaceous stock will be deep enough that it doesn't send up shoots....See MoreQuestion on Peony Buds
Comments (2)I'd say be patient. Your neighbor's yard may have different light conditions that yours. I have several peonies that are fully opened and several just starting to open and a few still have tight bud balls. My neighbor down the street, with a bit less sun than me, has only tight buds. Her flowers usually bloom a week later than mine. Relax and enjoy! Judye BTW, the ants aren't an issue....See MoreAlexander Woollcott Peony
Comments (23)Thanks Liz and Karen, I am ordering one this year. Salmon Dream I bought last year on Karen advice is showing 3 huge buds already, the earliest one for me, even earlier than Clair de Lune. I will probably have less flowers with OF this year as I can see only 4 at this point vs 7 last year. Petite Elegance is developing, but I guess it is one of more mid-term or late peonies. Not sure about buds at this stage. I have not make my mind about space for AW and wanted your input. Thinking about Pink Derby for next year if I can get it in Canada....See Moreforever_a_newbie_VA8
