what time of the year and how do you transplant pieonies??? (Flower)
Late fall, when the plant is dormant, is a good time to divide and transplant. There are YouTube videos that show the process. Here is an article on dividing peonies. Transplanting is the same process except the crown is kept intact. Amend the soil of the new planting hole with compost and/or peat moss. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/peony/dividing-peony-plants.htm
My peonies leaves have dark brown spots all over them. Some are far apart from each other. Is this normal?
Peonies can suffer from peony blight caused by the fungus Botrytis. Here is information on treatment and prevention. http://plantclinic.cornell.edu/factsheets/botrytisblightpeony.pdf
Dear sir or madam Well we have planted 10000 plants of peonies. This is the first year that we have planted. Can you tell me when we must pruning and also how to prune the peonies. Also another question we planted coral sunset, and the pants is little bit damaged from the sun, does we must prune or cutt that plant on the stems. I think we will have good communication. Sincerly Filip
Skopje, Hello! I've provided links to good peony care. When planting in summer, it is necessary to provide some shade to new transplants. Something like a row cover cloth will work or even a piece of cardboard that is strategically staked in place. If you think the coral sunset is sunburned, and not diseased, then I would keep leaves attached. If they are no longer green, remove them as they provide no photosynthesis. Leaf diseases are a problem with every growing operation so watch closely and promptly remove any leaves that seem affected/infected. The second link is for diseases to which peony is prone. Good luck!

It flowers with brilliant yellow flowers and has hard green pods as seen in the photo. Thanks.
It appears that your plant is a Peony, and those are the seed pods.
Since no new flowers are expected after springtime, peony seedpods don’t interfere with subsequent blooming. You can remove them though, as many gardeners think they detract from the beautiful foliage.
I live in zone 7a. When is the time to plant bulbs such as peonies?
These are well-suited for your area. The best time to plant these is during fall. This will ensure that they grow properly. Here is an article for more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/peony/peony-care.htm
I inherited a tall plant which I've had to provide a support. How do I know if I have a "tree" Peony? The plant is in a pot and I want to know if I need to prune it.
It is normal that some varieties can get really tall. If you suspect it to be a tree, then just only cut the blooms when they fade. Here is an article that will give you a better idea about pruning peonies: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/peony/peony-pruning.htm
Hello! we relocated from Arizona to central Oregon laty year. The property had a couple of peonie bushes that bloomed in the Spring. The plants are now brown. Do I cut them back or what shall I do this month (October) before winter arrives so that they will bloom again next Spring! We live in a Zone 3. They are my favorite flower! Also, I planted some Irises this Spring. How do I prep them for winter? Thank you, Denise Stefanisin valueourveterans@gmail.com
If peonies are brown, cut them down. Remove all plant debris. Several inches of wood mulch over the crown is sufficient winter protection. Iris will continue to slowly grow leaves until they freeze. Cut them down to 4-6 inches when convenient for you. Again, remove plant debris as they sometimes harbor insects. No special winter protection is necessary. If fall is dry, water your plants gently. Plant roots that are dry going into winter are more likely to suffer winter kill than well-hydrated ones.
