I haven't seen blooms on mine in 3 years lol. Someone else had mentioned piling ice on peonies, so I may try that this year. I have mine growing in a container, thinking that would help it get enough chilling hours. My friend lives in Allen and hers bloom every year. I got my peonies from her and she only lives 15 mins away from me. The year before mine produced buds but they never opened. Last Spring my peony didn't bother with flowerbuds lol.
