Caring for peonies in September is key.

The correctness of the manipulations determines whether the plant will be able to survive the cold without consequences.

Firstly, the beginning of September is the ideal period for replanting a peony. If you do it on time, then by the first frosts the replanted flower will have already put down roots.

It is also noted that the peony does not require annual replanting: the plant feels great in the same place for 5-6 years.

If the time has come to transplant the peony, it is necessary to choose the right place for it. It should be a sunny area of the garden or vegetable garden without excessive moisture and wind.

Before replanting, it is recommended to water the soil so that it is soft enough. This reduces the risk of damaging the roots of the flower.

The distance between the bushes should be 80-100 centimeters, depending on the growth of the plants. After planting, the bushes are thoroughly watered, and the following year you can expect abundant flowering from them.
