Botrytis blight (also called gray mold)

How do you revive a peony plant?
Remove any stalks from the plant where the stem is damaged. These can be thrown away or composted. The stalks of a peony plant cannot be rooted, so you cannot use them to grow a new plant. Any stalks that only have leaf damage can be left intact on the plant.
Do peonies have red stems?
Herbaceous Peonies
Garden peonies send up reddish stalks and leaves in early spring, followed by large, fluffy blooms in May.
Why did my peony buds dry up?
Too much shade, lack of proper fertilization, or drought
Anything that stresses the plant could result in bud-blast. This can include too much shade – peonies prefer full sun, lack of adequate fertilization in poor soil, or a period of drought when the plants are making active growth and buds are developing in spring.
What to do with peony after they bloom?
Only remove the spent blooms, and don't cut away any foliage (the plant will need those leaves to help build up flowers for next year). For herbaceous peonies, you can cut the whole plant to the ground after a fall frost has killed off the foliage. Then, in the spring new growth will appear from the roots.
