Does anybody have any idea what is wrong with this Peony? I have another two which are perfectly alright and flowered beautifully.

Thanks for that Bamboo - it probably is weedkiller damage as it is in an area where my other half Glysophates the path. A stern telling off is in order!!

This looks to me like localised iron deficiency better known as 'lime induced chlorosis'. There is a sprayable product named "Sequestrene" which should solve the problem and won't do any harm if it isn't.

Thanks for that Bigbumblebee - it's worth giving it a try.

Worth a try, but I'm sticking with my original opinion - the torsion and twisting of the leaves convinces me;-)

Looks like either weedkiller damage or virus (unless the discoloration on the leaves can be rubbed off) If its viral there's not much you can do except feed it up a bit and hope it gets better; bit like humans, really!
