The plant should be transplanted in the second half of August, possibly in early September.

Also, do not repot them in the spring, because then the root system may be damaged. it’s best to overdo it in the evening. It may take up to 2 years for them to start blooming again.

Plant the seedlings in the holes and cover them with four centimeters of soil. Tamp the soil and water the plant. The soil in which you plant peonies should be fertile, well-drained, slightly acidic and rich in humus. Choose a position where the sun will reach the plant only in the second half of the day. Thanks to this, you will enjoy beautiful flowers for a long time.
