Kousa,

thank you for you suggesstion. I have planted them 2 years back. don't remember exactly how deep i have planted them, but not really very deep.

I am planted nearly 10 roots at one spot. I wanted to see all colors blooms at one spot. After 1 year i have read on forums thats not the correct way to grow peonies. I wanted to seperate them, but didn't get time to do that. This year, we are planning to move to different house. I will dig up all once they are all done with blooming.

I have got few roots from walmart in feb. and planted them in pots. they also started to bloom. I am very happy and exicted.

My grandparents always had peonies in their yard. They had custody of me and my younger sis since we were 5 and 3, respectively. She passed away shortly after they got custody so my grandfather raised us until we were adults. (Sorry...may seem irrelevant but I brag on him all the time raising us 2 girls alone.) Anyways, he passed away a little over a year ago and I bought his house, which is where I grew up. The peonies are still here...pink and white. There is only one red but it has only bloomed once....the year my grandmother passed away, in 1988! (Yes, the other plants are this old too!) We have moved this plant everywhere and it will NOT bloom. It's growing and leaves out but no blooms. I have moved the plant to a more sunny spot so I'm praying it will bloom! Any suggestions?

Did you plant the peonies with the eyes just below the surface? Peonies planting any deeper than that may have trouble blooming. The deepest the eyes can go below the surface is 2 inches and that is recommended only for the coldest zones like 4 and below. Moving to the sunny location is a good start. If you add a tsp of bulb fertilizer when the pips start to show may also help.

It is best to wait until fall to dig up the peonies and replanted if you find that they are too deeply planted. For now, you can help them to bloom by removing some soil so that the eyes will be exposed if they are deeply planted. Though if the eyes are 4 or more inches below soil surface, that maybe hard to do. Good luck!
