I bought two peony plants two years ago, last year and this year i have plenty of leaf growth but no signs of any buds. Is there any advice please

How small were/are they?
I don't know much about them to be honest but I recall my father saying that they take about 3 years to bloom and after that about one new flower every year...and they can live as long as a human.
No idea exactly how accurate that is ...but it was one of his 'rule of thumb' sayings if you know what I mean?
Oh..and also, they hate being transplanted, and that knocks them right back a few years."Nicos, Queen of Gooooogle" and... GYO's own Miss Marple

Nicos is quite right. They don't like being moved and will sulk for several years once established they will give you a profusion of flowers. May be you will be lucky next year.Gardening requires a lot of water - most of it in the form of perspiration. Lou Erickson, critic and poetComment

I agree - i have planted three peonies two years ago and got a single flower on two of them this year.
As make sure they are not planted too deep - off the top of my head i think the crown should only be around 5cm below the surface!Comment
