I have had two peony plants for several years, and one of them won't bloom at all and the other one had ONE flower on it this last May. It didn't really bloom all that well either. I live in an area of Nebraska that has very sandy soil. It's just south of the Sandhills area in the mid-western area of the state.
I've been told not to plant them too deep. But when I ask how deep, all I get is a shrug and an "I don't know----just not too deep". It's really frustrating. I love these plants, but I can't seem to get them to flower. I was also told that they can't flower unless they have ants on them. Is that true? I was also told to put bone meal in with them----which I did. Still no results!
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions/help you can give me....
