Peony buds not blooming

acerbob
16 years ago

Hi all, thanks for taking a look at my question. I live in Zone 8a Georgia. I have a peony that has been in the ground for 3 years. Every year flower buds appear and get really large, then right before they open the buds turn black and soft resulting in no bloom.Could this be a bacteria or viral problem. I sure could use some help, thanks in advance.

Bob
