Hi Peg,

Actually they transplant easily, although they may not flower the year after
you move them.

I have a friend of a friend who doensn't want his peonies anymore and is
offering them free for the digging. Somewhere in the back of my mind I
recall that they don't handle transplanting well. Whats the odds on
survival if I dig them up and replant them? I'm in zone 7, central
Virginia and I have Davidson clay soil (rich in nutrients, red, acidic).
