Can peony bushes be planted in the spring?

Question

I ordered them from a nursery and they were sent in the fall but I was unable to plant them so I do not know if I should wait until next fall or plant them in the spring. They are still in their original shipping boxes and packaging.

Answer 1

Yes, they can be planted in spring just fine. They aren't really too picky about the cold. It is the heat that they cannot tolerate. I am concerned they are still in boxes. Always remove plants from boxes as soon as you receive them.
