    is this fungus in the soil? That would be my guess

    You may have to move the peonies to a new site, if the ground is infected with the fungus. If you replant, add composted cow maure to the new site before planting. Water in, then backfill, eliminating air pockets, and mulch with pine needles, if available, or add some used coffee grounds around the peonies. Spray with an anti-dessicant to protect from winter winds.
