How and when do you move a peony bush?

I think Joseph and Mommie sent you the right direction. We advocate fall transplanting of most established perennials, including peonies. Here in zone 5, we'll be dong that in mid October. Dig up a nice big root ball with your plant, cut it with a sharp spade to divide (if your peony is big enough for division. A 3 or 4 year old plant should be large enough and anything older is sure to benefit from dividing.). Transplant to a sunny, well drained spot and give it a good shot or two of root stimulator to get it spreading those roots before winter shuts down growth. If we have another exceptionally dry winter, it would be a good idea to water the newly transplanted peonies a couple of times.

How and when do you move a peony bush?
Fall and dig up the entire plant and divide.





Keep in mind this guide: Dig up opposite time of bloom.
Reply:You can move or divide a peony bush in the fall. Make sure you dig a circle at least as wide as the mature bush to capture the majority of leaves.





To move the bush to a new location, make sure the new location is in full sun and do not dig the hole much deeper than your rootball. Mulch with organic material.





Good luck!
