Everything around them blooms nicely, so I don't think there's anything
wrong with the soil (other than it being clay!).

So, now what?

Is this the only year you have had this problem or has it been going on for a
few years?
If the clumps are real large they may need to be divided, but if you have had
a cold wet spring like we did this year-the plants may have just rotted away
while in leaf.  
I had some nice large Oriental Poppies come up this spring and with all the
rain and cool weather they just rotted away before they bloomed.
They like a well drained location but with all the water from the sky-that
was not going to happen.
