Peonies - Spring 2015 - LEFT 3rd

There are roughly five peonies (that's not including the Itoh and tree peony) in my small backyard. I only took a few pictures because they look about the same. This one is located on the right side (where the fence's shadow is currently covering the plants during the spring). This is my biggest root system out of the five peonies. Recently I added soil and slow release fertilizer on all five peonies. We covered them with some mulch for the past two days due to frost.

Recently I had to make the hole bigger on this one because new eyes were growing under the tarp. It seems some little bugs have been eating some of the eyes. But it looks ok and I think it will bloom. This one is along the wall of the house, in the area that will get sun during spring. About 2pm the sun is covering half of that side.

PEONY L3 - No blooms even though there was a few eyes on this bush. It might be because I planted it too deep, although I still saw the eyes at ground level. I will replant it in fall and see if that will help it grow better.
