Douglas Hunt on Mar 20, 2014The top won't root, but the roots should be fine. I will caution, however, that this is the wrong time of year to move peonies—it should be done in the fall—and they generally resent moving (although I know we are going to hear from folks who have repeatedly moved theirs).Helpful Reply

The Garden Frog with C Renee on Mar 20, 2014Douglas is right-peonies do not like to be moved. It takes 3 years for most plants to start growing and peonies are no exception. the only caution with planting is that you kept the roots at the right depth and no deeper than they were. Do not be surprised if it does not bloom this year or even next if you moved it now. Good luckHelpful Reply

Dee on Mar 20, 2014Victoria something to remember, Plant this in your head as far as moving plants around. If it blooms in the spring move it in the fall, If it blooms in the fall move it in the spring.Some plants can be moved after they bloom as long as it is not to hot or cold and give them time to adjust before winter.Hope this helps.Enjoy the peonys in the vase.Helpful Reply
