Hi Kay,
No I'm on Vancouver Island - where the weather is similar if not identical
to Kent where I used to live. Thanks for the thought though. It's perhaps
a little warmer here than Kent, because we don't get much frost ... miss
that ;o)
bye for now

Hi Fellow Gardeners,
Have a couple of peonies one is ten years old and the other five years
old.
The older one flowered after a couple of years as expected, but for the
last
two years no flowers at all. The young one still hasn't flowered. I
realise peonies may not flower for up to two years, but don't know why
they
stopped, or in the case of the younger why it didn't flower at all.

The are in a sunny - ish location and it gets (probably) cold enough in
the
winter. Not much frost though. Every spring lots of nice good shoots. I
read that they don't need dividing for ten to fifteen years so don't think
this is the problem
What to do?. Any ideas? Not enough sun??? Could it be simply not enough
water?
Thanks for suggestions.


Are you posting from the US? In which case, the advice from this UK
group may not be very helpful to you. Certainly being cold enough in the
winter isn't something we normally have to worry about!
