Does anyone have any hints on how to get peonies to flower? (snip)

You could try some Tomato fertilizer (high potash) towards the end of the
growing season, seems to work on most reluctant bloomers (including
cymbidiums).

Thanks, I'll try that. I know it works well with geraniums but I hadn't
thought of trying it on peonies.

(Thanks to all who replied. I should have mentioned in my earlier post
that the "no deeper than 2inches of soil above the crown" also applies in
Oz - the heat doesn't seem to bother peonies if lushness of growth and
healthy foliage is any indication).
