I have a beautiful peony plant in the front of my house. The problem is I am never out there and seldom get a chance to enjoy its beautiful blooms. Can I replant it to my backyard? Do peonies do well with a move?
Is it o.k. to replant now? (May)

I transplanted one of my Peony plalnts in the middle of August. It looks bad! Will it come back in the spring? Also should it be planted in a more sandy soil? Thank you Gloria

Hi there, I have a peony plant that I have moved. I find the do move easy, but don't liked to be moved but once they are moved they don't bloom that year, you will have to wait for the next summer for them to bloom. So find a good spot for your peony's transplant them and leave them there, and you will get a nice bloom the next summer. Or wait until they have bloomed for the season and move them in the fall. Hopefully you will get a bloom in the spring/summer.

Is is possible to take a clipping and root it? I received a beautiful pink bloom and was wanting to keep it if possible. Thanks

I have several peony plants. Have had to transplant them many times..fall or spring and haven't had any problem. They are very sturdy.

They prefer to be moved in the fall, but I moved a whole row of them in the spring when we got our house. Don't plant them too deep and not too close to the house. They tend to have a lot of ants which I have heard help the buds open.

We inherited a peony in the front corner of the yard. It was a spindly thing, and whenever we hired somebody to mow the lawn, they would mow right over it, poor thing! Finally we put in a driveway where it was, and the contractor (sweet fellow!) dug it up and moved it for us, to a flower bed by the front porch. This was in early September, 2005 (the height of summer here in Kansas, hot and dry). I have no idea how deep he planted it or anything, but it survived. The next year it didn't grow much or try to bloom. The second year it grew bigger. This spring it's huge and covered with buds! So I think they are quite tolerant of transplanting, just don't expect blooms the next year. Good luck, and enjoy your peony!

I have transplanted them in the spring and the fall. They didn't bloom the first year when I moved them in the spring time. Also, make sure not to plant them too deep. They like to be planted close to the surface with just a small amount of soil covering them.

I moved my peonies as soon as they started coming up this spring. They seem to be doing ok so far. Hopefully I did not do too much damage.
