How to transplant peonies in autumn in a new place?

Among the inhabitants of the flower garden there are real long-livers who can enjoy their beauty for about 20 years in a row - these are peonies. But for a good flowering, to stimulate the bookmarking of a large number of tones and the growth of the root system from time to time, the plant needs a transplant to a new location.

Some inexperienced growers doubt whether it is possible to transplant peonies in the fall, because soon the cold comes and the plant can freeze. Do it right now, after the flowering, before the plant goes to rest. If this is not done at the right time, then the bush will be ill for a long time and will not lay buds.

Should I divide the bush?

If the plant that will be transplanted large in the girth, then the rhizome will have a large one with a lot of eyes. When the reproduction of this flower is not planned, the root is also planted in a new well in the form that was dug out. But if you want to multiply the plant, the rhizome is neatly cut with a shovel so that there are enough kidneys or ocelli on each part.

The choice of location?

Before the fall to transplant peonies to a new place, you should choose this place. The most sunny area is best suited, as for bushes the bushes need a maximum of sun rays. In the shade the foliage will be pale, and the plant itself is small, with a small number of underdeveloped buds.

Dig a hole

It's not so simple, not knowing how to transplant a peony bush in the fall, to dig a suitable pit for it. After all, how will this dredging in the earth depend on the further health of the plant. Since the root system of the pion is large enough, it will require space for its placement.

The pit is excavated no less than half a meter in size width and the same length. In depth the distance is almost the same. At the bottom poured a bucket of sand for better drainage. This especially applies to lowland areas. Since in this place the pion will have to grow more than one year, it should be well to fertilize the hole. In it poured more humus or manure, and also add superphosphate and wood ash.

Do not go too deep into the plant, because it will not bloom. It is better to transplant with an assistant, so that he can hold a bush at a time when the other sleeps on the roots of the earth. The following year the tied buds break off, not allowing them to dissolve, so that the plant soon regains its strength.
