Peonies are best transplanted and divided in the fall. Towards the end of the summer they concentrate their energy in the big roots. Over the winter those roots sprout lots of little feeder roots that are disrupted by spring transplanting. However, peonies are very tough plants, and I've heard lots of stories about them being successfully moved at other seasons. Many peony growers believe that big old clumps of peonies transplant better if you divide them, because dividing them rejuvinates them, and young plants are more adaptable. Of course, that's fall advice. Still, I think it is probably safe, and maybe even optimal for you to divide your plants before re-planting them. Best of luck, Ginda |
