Brown leafed Peony plants

Question

I planted peonies about 6 years ago. Half are doing well, the other half, in separate area always grow but the leaves get brown/black spots on them. Can I replant them? How? When?

Answer 1

Peonies are very finicky when replanted. It may take them a year or two before they recover from transplant shock. They may have a fungus too. Treat the plants with a fungicide to help this.
