Can I plant peonies in a shady area? Will they still bloom?
I want to plant peonies along the side of my home. I have a lot of trees and it is shady all around the house. I have one peony on the side of the house which has been there for 40 yrs plus from prev owner. It is very wide, but has buds that never opened up and look deformed. I don't know the history of the plant (if it does indeed bloom, etc) Are deformed buds a sign something is wrong with the plant or the site?I planted two new peonies at that site, not too close, but although it's shady, they seem to always be thirsty on the verge of wilting. What am I doing wrong? Please advise. Thank you!

They will do well in shade. I have about a dozen bushes that sit underneath trees. They bloom like crazy. These are my favorite flowers. Good Luck !!

The trees are beautiful right now all in bloom. Here is a close-up study of one near the house. Walnut Creek, CA
