Re: Peony maturity

Peonies generally resent being transplanted, particularly if it involves breaking up the main root, so once you plant a fresh piece of root, it can take a few years to totally recover.
Well said, Don. I dug out a neighbor's mature peonies 3 years ago and transplanted them to my yard. I thought for sure I killed them - that's how awful they looked.

Three years later they are bigger than when I originally dug them out and awesomely covered in buds. Patience is indeed a virtue when dealing with peonies.
