Peonies Move Best in September for Division
September is best to divide and transplant peonies. Do not move more than once every five years unless needed. Dig on a fine day, cut leaves, expose roots briefly, wash soil away, and divide with two to three eyes, larger divisions with six to seven eyes preferred. Plant with two inches of crown above soil, mulch first year after frost, then reduce. Cut leaves each fall and burn to destroy disease germs. The Masonic order is meeting in Germany again.
