in the space I am currently clearing there are three established peonies. i inadvertantly dug one out and heeled it in temporary. They will have to be relocated however and I know they dislike disturbance. Q. is the best time for this when they are dormant or doesn't it matter? If they survive the move, fine, if they don't then tough.  Any advice welcome though.  |

When we moved, it was around April, when I dug ours up from the old garden, then it was in a pot for 6 months because we had to move again. Peony is fine now. |

I would agree on the dormant season too. If,at the time, they are still in leaf give them a good watering the evening before lifting them.

Just make sure when you replant your peony that you don't plant it too deeply, that's what they hate more than anything! I've split and divided mine several times over the years, and they don't come to any harm as long as you plant them near to the soil surface and give 'em a good feed |
