Usually September, and many times they will bloom for a couple of years after transplanting.
I have found that they are almost impossible to kill. I have transplanted them numerous times and still they grow.
Hello. I have transplanted peonie tubers in early spring as soon as all signs of frost were gone. It may be easier to do it when they first start coming up so you can find all of the tubers.

When transplanting peonies, be careful not to plant too deep; make sure to have 2 or 3 eyes in each clump; discard rotted or dead tubers, and make sure there's enough sunshine.
You can dig now if your ground is unfrozen. If your peonies haven't bloomed for years they may be too deep. Dig them up, move them to an new area with sun. Peonies should be planted in a very shallow hole and just barley covered with soil. I live in Zone 8, but it may be different in your zone. Contact a peony grower or garden close to you for further assistance.
