It have been years since I've grown peonies but if within is nectar in the flower or aphids feed on the leaves, ants will be attracted to the flowers and plants.

You could diatomaceous earth around the foot of the plants to inhibit and kill the ants. It is non-hazardous to people and pets. Make sure it is intended as an insecticide fairly than used for filtration.

Answers:    Yes, ants are attracted to peonies. They are attracted to the sap that is on the buds that are getting in place to open, and later to the nectar inside.

Peonies don't really need the ants to bloom, regardless of dated wives' tales. If you spray ant spray on your plants and butcher off the ants the flowers will bloom fine.
