Help My Peonies To Bloom

Question

I have a peonies plant that was a cutoff from my father’s great grandmother. It had been in the same spot for years n years, getting smaller and not as many blooms. I moved it 2 years ago to a fresh spot but in the same general area getting the same sunlight etc. First year no blooms at all, second year one bud that never opened, this year one bud not open and one bloom. What can I do to help get the blooms back?

Answer 1

Peonies resent being transplanted so that is part of the problem. Did you move it to full sun and well-draining soil? These articles should help:
