Hello,
I have 3 peony bushes growing together in a small area, close to other
shrubs. To ease the crowding I have been thinking of moving the peonies
to a part of the yard where there's more room.

The peony bushes have already started to grow but have not yet
flowered. Is it too late in the season to move them, or could they
survive re-planting if done very soon?
Many thanks in advance,
Denny
Peonies are NOTORIOUSLY fickle when it comes to
dividing/moving/replanting. I've had mixed results as they like a year
or so to acclimatize to their new setting. *If it were me*: I'd wait
til they got the little bud balls going, then take a huge root ball
before moving them and make sure new location gets the same
sun/moisture? Read a peonie page about the correct depth.
