- I always seem to have a plant that needs to be moved. Either it’s too close to another or I’m redoing a flower bed and want it in another location. Certain perennials are easy to move, especially if they were recently planted. But established plants can be difficult.

Peonies are the pinnacle of spring flowers. Can I get an amen?! But have you ever looked at their established roots? Since peonies take a few years before they really begin to settle in fully, transplanting them can be a bit difficult.
Fall is the ideal time to transplant peonies. Why? Peonies go dormant in the fall and have less stress being moved. In my Iowa Zone 5, that time is September. If you're in a southern state, that time would be November.
Here are some tips:
- Start with a well-watered peony.
- Choose the new planting site and have the new hole ready.
- Dig down and pry slightly to break up roots. For established shrubs, dig 18” from the crown of the plant.
- Continue to dig in a circle around the shrub until the roots loosen enough to remove the shrub.
- Place the shrub in the new hole, ensuring the eyes on the crown are at ground level.
- Water the peony in the hole to ensure everything is moistened well.
- Backfill the hole with dirt and tamp slightly.
- Continue to water the transplant until the ground temperature is cold enough for the plant to go dormant.
Transplanting seems scary, and yes, I have lost a few things over the years. But when you need to move a plant, it often works out better than you think!

This was veyr helpful! I have 3 peonies plants that were here when we bought the house and one is on a hill. As I get older it's hard to get to to put in supports or take cuttings so I've wanted to move it , but was afraid to. this September it's getting moved!
I have moved my peonies with me every time we've moved. This is time number 6.
Thank you! You make it look easy! And I love your sense of humor and encouragement.
Perfect timing! Thank you.
I need to move mine now because I'm putting in cedars. Pray for me! Love the video :)
You always have best videos.
I've moved into a home and was surprised by the most amazing peonies! I don't ever remember seeing peonies before and so I have been trying to learn about them so I can have a great production in the spring.
It is September now and I've heard some say to trim them to the ground and then move them but I don't really know which benefits the plants more?
Thanks for your video!
Thank you I need to transplant about 15 !
Love your video
Thanks for the simple but good video on transplanting peonies :) how deep should the holes be for herbaceous & Itohs? I see sometimes people say 12"/18" or 20". What if the soil has a lot of clay in it ?!! thanks.

Thanks for the video. When can you move peony bushes?
I just moved 2 today , first part of March 2021
Do you think they will bloom this year ?? They had little shoots or growth on the roots .
They have been in a area for years , they bloomed but I do not think it was to its full potential of the flowers . Maybe in the wrong place 🤷♀️
Love your attitude on just digging it up and transplanting it! lol 💕
I’m glad I found your channel!
Thank you
I have 4 of them. In the shade And they barely bloom. I should probably move them?
I live in North Carolina. I tranplanted a peony plant that needed more sun. I was able to split the root ball but have 2-3 pieces that I haven't decided where to plant. One of them I can see pink crowns and the other 2, I see white crowns. Can I store the 2-3 pieces somewhere until Feb-March? Thanks for any feedback
What fertilizer did you put in the hole before planting the peonies?
My mom recently passed away and she has a beautiful peonie bush in her yard. I dug up a small part of the root ball, but I'm not sure if it is going to make it. Can I send you a picture of it and get your opinion? Thank you!
Can you cut them back at the same time you transplant?
Im in Georgia & want to transplant my peony into a large pot asap or soonest. Its in wrong location; not enough sun & has never bloomed. Can I do now while dormant or wait till its leaves emerge in warmer spring ? Thank you
Hello hello
I live in Georgia, it is still hot in September. I am doing some yard work now in December, our days are in the upper 50s, could I still transplant them now?
