Q: When is a good time to move a peony?
A: Lift and divide in the early fall. Peonies don't like root disturbance and several years may go by before the crowns flower freely. Do not dig them up unless necessary or unless you want to increase your stock. Only replant tubers with eyes or growth buds. Make sure the eye is 2" below soil level. Too deep planting may result in small or no flowers.
