Peony Sprout Wither? #874487
Asked June 24, 2024, 4:13 PM EDT
It looks like my peonies are sprouting withered or browned. There are two plants that I planted around the same time, one came to just fine and one didn't. I was curious if you had any solutions or problem-solving. I attached a picture of my plant to better show the problem. Thank you so much!

Additional info…one of 2 plants had this happened to the flower buds the remainder of plant seems fine, leaves and stems look ok as well as the other plant which had blooming flowers all be it not many(5 to 8 years since I planted them
Good morning!
Sometimes if a plant is stressed it will not produce blooms. It could be from lack of water (most likely) or the heat. If you planted these this year I would not worry because it could also be transplant stress and they will bloom next year!
Based off your photo the rest of the plant looks very healthy! Here is a little more information on peonies for reference.
Thanks for reaching out!
