I bought 6 packages of TASC peony bulbs at BJ’s. I planted 3 packages (12 bulbs) Only one package (4 bulbs) sprouted and the others were duds. Should I throw them out or try next year? The 3 unopened packages are they now dead or plant next year?

Yes, you can plant peony bulbs (or more accurately, peony root divisions) from last year, provided they are still in good condition. Peonies do not grow from traditional bulbs like some other plants, but from fleshy, tuberous roots that have "eyes" (buds). If you have leftover peony root divisions from last year, here’s what you need to know:
Steps for Planting Peony Roots from Last Year:

Check for Viability:
Inspect the root divisions to ensure they are healthy. The roots should be firm and not mushy or shriveled.
Look for visible "eyes" or buds. These are the growing points that will eventually produce stems and flowers.

Storage:
If you’ve been storing them since last year, make sure they were kept in a cool, dry place. If they’ve been kept in a damp or overly warm environment, they might not be viable.
If you haven’t stored them properly and they seem to have dried out, soak them in water for a few hours before planting to rehydrate them.

Timing:
The best time to plant peony roots is in the fall (September to October) or in early spring when the ground can be worked.
If it’s already spring or fall, go ahead and plant them. They may take a season or two to establish and bloom, but they should eventually grow.

Planting Depth:
Peonies need to be planted at the correct depth for best results. Plant the root divisions with the "eyes" (buds) about 1 to 2 inches below the soil surface.
Planting them too deep or too shallow can prevent blooming.

Location:
Peonies prefer full sun and well-drained soil. They don’t like soggy roots, so make sure the area has good drainage.

Care:
After planting, water the peonies well to settle the soil around the roots. Peonies generally require minimal care once established but will benefit from occasional watering during dry periods.
