They cannot be planted too deep,or they won't form blooms.

I have found that if I have planted my peonies too deep, they don't bloom well. She might try digging them up (in the fall!) and replanting not quite so deep. They don't need to be planted very far into the ground at all. Just barely cover the roots.
Also, peonies love sun. I have some in the shade I have to move myself... I thought they got more sun where I put them than they actually do. Live and learn. I hope this works for her.... otherwise, not sure why they aren't blooming well. |
When I first planted my peony I must have planted it too deep. It was in full sun...no blooms :( So, I moved it. Less sun - much less, but I couldn't dig too deep because of where I put it. Blooms like mad! Its hardly under earth LOL

I think its august for transplanting time for them and iris too.

Dig them up and shake off dirt and replant in another area

Peonies want to be in full sun and the time to reset them is in the fall. Dig them up and set them aside while you mix composted cow manure into the hole where they are to be planted. Then replant at a shallow depth. Good luck!

Peonies actually have an 'eye' on the tubar root that needs to be above ground in order to bloom.
