r/peonies

What’s this white stuff and how can I safely get rid of it?
It gets plenty of sun as it faces east. I water it every two days or less if it rains.

We got hit by a major hailstorm the other day which stripped all my peonies of their leaves. Some 1st year peonies were already in the ground and had no buds this year. Others, were a little larger , with 1 or 2 flowers, which I kept in pots while I waited for the fall to plant them. They should be OK, right? We are close enough to fall where I would have been planting bare roots anyway, right? I’m in zone 6a. (Trying not to cry looking at these poor flowers. Photos of some of my annuals as well.)

Had these pop up in a raised bed out of nowhere and they do not look like anything I have planted anywhere in the garden. I do have a sizable bunch of peonies in the front yard, but they didn’t have viable flowers this year (destroyed by a late frost). One younger plant in the back that has not bloomed in the four years I have lived here. Any thoughts?

These black spots look ominous. I've had it for about 4 months.

Got this tree peony in April and need help with them. They never flowered and I don't know what I've done wrong with them. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Can anyone give me any advice on how or if I can save this peony? I planted it in may around Mother’s Day. After researching I found that it is best to plant in full sun. That may have been a mistake. I live in central Oklahoma and it has been super hot for the last month or so. I’m thinking maybe a shadier spot would have been a better choice. I have been watering it at least once a day sometimes twice because it gets so wilted and sad looking. I also put little umbrellas over it during the hottest part of the day but it’s still so sad and I feel like it’s getting worse everyday. Should I go ahead and move it or wait until fall or even next spring? It is a Julia Rose itoh peony and I’ll be so sad if it doesn’t make it because it was beautiful in the spring.

Completed the other 2 as well.

What colour and flower should I do next ?

Potted peony from the nursery clearance bin. When I took it out of the pot, I found the root broken in pieces like this. Possible root rot? I went ahead and planted the piece that had the dying leaf attached to it. What do I do with the rest of the pieces? Any ideas? At just a dollar, I'm open to experiments. Do any of these look viable? Thanks in advance!

I had asked a similar question a few days back. Since I couldn't figure out how to add this photo to that thread, I've created a new post here.

I planted 3 peony roots 4 springs ago. One is doing great, one comes up each year at only 6 inches tall has never flowered. Today I just discovered this one for the first time (see photo), where it was hiding next to some drooping Shasta daisies. Is it possible that it was just dormant for 4 years? I originally planted it about 2 feet to the left where it would have more sun.
