I would like to move some peonies and plant one hydrangea. Is now okay in my zone?

I have been transplanting perennials for the past several weeks. I just replanted hosta and tree seedlings this weekend. Since you already bought those plants (saw your other post), you might as well plant them now.

As to peonies, they don't really like to be moved. Do you really need to move them? If so, move them now and replant them no deeper than 2 inches. They won't settle and begin to bloom for you for at least a couple years.

Good luck.

I agree. Fall is the best time to transplant perennials, shrubs and peonies. Yes, don't like being moved, but Fall is the best time to do it.
