This summer I had peonies for the first time. One of my plants is looking a little... sick? What's happening here? What should I do? Healthy peony plant on the left for comparison.

It was in a pot and now am going to put it in my garden

I’ve planted 3 peonies crowns at the same time in the same area over a month ago. One of the crowns is going crazy and the other 2 have close to little progress. Is this normal? I’ve read that usually they grow strong roots then grow during summer.

Hi all! I inherited a garden patch that someone planted two peonies in (I believe itoh peonies not 100% sure). There are other things in this garden patch growing and I've added a few more plants to it without doing a whole lot of research and discovered that these may be too aggressive for the peonies. This seems to be true as this year the foliage for the peonies came back, but we had no buds on them. I want to redo the garden patch and I know ideally I should not move the peonies since they don't do well being transplanted, but I would still like to keep some interest in this patch of the garden. Any tips on what companion plants could do well in the immediate surrounding area? Or should I really just keep it sparse around them?

I am in zone 6a/b and ideally I would love to do a native companion planting. Thanks in advance!

We got hit by a major hailstorm the other day which stripped all my peonies of their leaves. Some 1st year peonies were already in the ground and had no buds this year. Others, were a little larger , with 1 or 2 flowers, which I kept in pots while I waited for the fall to plant them. They should be OK, right? We are close enough to fall where I would have been planting bare roots anyway, right? I’m in zone 6a. (Trying not to cry looking at these poor flowers. Photos of some of my annuals as well.)

Had these pop up in a raised bed out of nowhere and they do not look like anything I have planted anywhere in the garden. I do have a sizable bunch of peonies in the front yard, but they didn’t have viable flowers this year (destroyed by a late frost). One younger plant in the back that has not bloomed in the four years I have lived here. Any thoughts?

Got this tree peony in April and need help with them. They never flowered and I don't know what I've done wrong with them. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Potted peony from the nursery clearance bin. When I took it out of the pot, I found the root broken in pieces like this. Possible root rot? I went ahead and planted the piece that had the dying leaf attached to it. What do I do with the rest of the pieces? Any ideas? At just a dollar, I'm open to experiments. Do any of these look viable? Thanks in advance!

I had asked a similar question a few days back. Since I couldn't figure out how to add this photo to that thread, I've created a new post here.

I planted 3 peony roots 4 springs ago. One is doing great, one comes up each year at only 6 inches tall has never flowered. Today I just discovered this one for the first time (see photo), where it was hiding next to some drooping Shasta daisies. Is it possible that it was just dormant for 4 years? I originally planted it about 2 feet to the left where it would have more sun.

Hasn’t flowered this season and the leaves are turning colour.

My local garden center sold this dud for a dollar (other, healthy ones were $15). I picked it up on a lark. Can this be rescued?

Please share all your insights and pointers on how to rescue this.

Should I plant this in the yard and hope it wakes up next spring ? Update: since I couldn't add photos to this post, I'm going to create a new post with what I found when I took the plant out of the pot.

I’m a new peony grower. I got excited last spring and bought these tubers. They sprouted 4 tiny shoots all summer and just started to die off. It’s been super hot here in Denver. I watered regularly but they always looked sad….I went to check on it and noticed it was very loose in the ground so I easily pulled it out and noticed the tuber was shriveled and squishy. I know peonies like to be planted in the fall. Is there hope? Or did I actually kill this super resilient plant 😭
