Peony buds not blooming

Posted by acerbob z8aGA. (My Page) on

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

RE: Peony buds not blooming

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.
