I came back from a two week vacation and the leaves of my peonies are showing black sections. During our absence we had an automatic sprinkler system going. Do any of you have any ideas what this problem might be and if my plants will be OK next year. The two plants with the problem are planted in two separate locations but they have the same symptom. Thank you for any input.

[wayey] Luvgardening,

Got a picture????

What was the rain like when you were gone??
And did the sprinkler sprinkle from the top of the plant down or at the roots??

Is there mulch around the base of these plants?

[wayey] Weezie,

The sprinkler is low so it should get only the roots and not the leaves of the peony. I will try to take a picture tomorrow and post it so you can all see what I am talking about. I am currently at work so I cannot accomplish this task today.

Also I did not notice if the stems were affected. I will check more thouroughly tonight.
Thanks for the responses.
