I have found that if I have planted my peonies too deep, they don't bloom well. She might try digging them up (in the fall!) and replanting not quite so deep. They don't need to be planted very far into the ground at all. Just barely cover the roots.
Also, peonies love sun. I have some in the shade I have to move myself... I thought they got more sun where I put them than they actually do. Live and learn.
I hope this works for her.... otherwise, not sure why they aren't blooming well.

When I first planted my peony I must have planted it too deep. It was in full sun...no blooms :( So, I moved it. Less sun - much less, but I couldn't dig too deep because of where I put it. Blooms like mad! Its hardly under earth LOL

Here is a link to lots of good information on Peonies. It is from Kansas State University. Everything you ever wanted to know about peonies!

Peonies want to be in full sun and the time to reset them is in the fall. Dig them up and set them aside while you mix composted cow manure into the hole where they are to be planted. Then replant at a shallow depth. Good luck!
