Q: Why do the flowers on my new peony not look as I expected they would? A: Your plants are probably young. Young peony plants often produce atypical blooms during their first years. A double peony may actually produce single or semi-double flowers initially. The colour may also vary in intensity. Peony breeders will rarely make a decision on a new variety based on the first years of blooming. It takes a few years for the plant to mature and settle down to producing flowers of typical form and colour.
