Peony - incredibly beautifully blossoming plant and at the same time absolutely unpretentious. If to plant this flower to the suitable soil, then it quite can grow and blossom many years on one place, at the same time the quality of buds will be on the ball. Peonies do not love change therefore if you have decided to replace plant to other bed, then follow number of rules.
When it is better to replace peonies
The most suitable time for change of peonies - the end of summer - early autumn, when on the street still rather warmly, but not hot, and till rainy season from one to three weeks. If to replace flowers during this period, then they will be able to gain strength and much easier adapt to new soil. With arrival of spring the backs of peonies will quickly sprout, will begin to absorb actively moisture and nutrients that will favorably affect plant (if change takes place safely, then peonies will blossom the next summer).
It is possible to replace peonies also in the spring, however usually change during this season negatively affects bushes, they begin to be ill, in most cases blossoming for one or two years stops. Therefore if you do not wish to ruin flowers, postpone change of peonies for several months (till ""velvet season"") if it is impossible (for example, building on this place is planned, or backs of flowers were attacked by moles), then at implementation of the procedure do not separate rhizome at all.
It should be noted that change of peonies at the end of spring and cannot be carried out in the summer, it can lead to their death. The fact is that during this period kidneys which flowers are going to release for the next year in the form of stalks and if you disturb them arise, then they will not be created properly and as a result of plant will die. There will be it for the reason that at the end of spring and the beginning of summer backs of peonies are insufficiently developed, the millet will not be enough for kidneys nutrients for restoration
When it is possible to replace peonies that blossomed the next year
If you need to replace (to seat) peonies, at the same time you wish to admire their blossoming the next summer, then carry out the procedure at the beginning middle of September. Cut off stalks at distance of 5-7 centimeters from tubers, accurately separate tubers so that on ""calf"" there were from three to five kidneys (more to leave unnecessary as it will be more difficult to bush to take root). Place each ""allotment"" in the landing hole (surely with drainage), dig, stamp and it is abundant water.
