Hi, All. I have 5 peony plants that do nothing but grow foliage every year and I know I need to bring the tubers closer to the surface. My question is...how do I move them to a different part of the yard without hurting the plants? They are in with my grass and get plenty of sun and I know it's a bad place for them. I just haven't had the time to move them. They will do much better in the Japanese garden in the back. And before you say anything...I didn't plant them there! LOL I just need to know HOW to move them. Thanks for any help in advance!!! Also, do they need more or less water than the lawn was getting? They look pretty crappy, poor things!!!
