Q&A – My peonies have botrytis. Is it worth transplanting them?

Question:
Q&A – My peonies have botrytis. Is it worth transplanting them?

Answer:
Transplanting the peonies will take the botrytis to the new bed. University of Memphis Director of Landscape Joellen Dimond says it all depends on if you feel the need to keep these particular peonies. To grow and bloom well Peonies need to be planted with the right amount of spacing and sun, and good drainage. It may be easier to go buy new peonies and plant them in a new bed.
