Method 1 Getting Peonies to Bloom onthePlant
- Plant your peonies where they'll get 4-6 hours ofdirectsun.
- Make sure your peonies are planted no more than 1–2inches(2.5–5.1 cm) deep.
- Avoid giving the peonies too much fertilizer.
- Use caution when removing foliage from the plant.
Then, what do you do when peonies don't bloom?
Peonies won't bloom if the bulbsareplanted too deep. The eyes should be only 1/2 to 1 inch belowthesurface of the soil. If yours are too deep, lift theminfall and replant them. Firm the bottom of the planting holetoremove air pockets and prevent the bulbs from settling deeperintothe soil.
Anything that stresses the plant could resultinbud-blast. This can include too much shade–peonies prefer full sun, lack of adequatefertilization inpoor soil, or a period of drought when the plantsare making activegrowth and buds are developing inspring.
