My 2 yr. old PINK peonies bloomed WHITE this year....WHY????
by

1 Answer

Answer :

Were they transplanted?  Were the roots disturbed in any way.....maybe an animal digging................did you have a very cold winter or a mild winter.......they like and want a cold winter and in full sun..................we just let them die down and then before it snow 1 shovel of old horse or cow manure and the snow takes it down to the roots.  One website says that they will change color from pink, purple white or red.  Good luck in the spring.....when they will bloom again.
