The two peonies I have this year grew nice looking folage to about 18 - 24 in tall but did not have a single bud bloom. Have had others in past years that had buds but they never opened up. They did have a few ants on them but I thought I had read somewhere that they were needed for the blooms. My mom peonies always had some ants on the buds & blooms. And they always opened normally
