Like Bamboo says the best time to move your plants around is in the autumn. If you can do it in September all the better as the soil is still warm & the weather is fairly cooperative. The plants will have time too to make some roots before winter begins so they should get away better in the spring.

Paeonies should be moved as soon as they go dormant - ie late auutmn. I moved twelve of them the year before last and nine of them flowered last year so it definitely works

Best time to move things around is autumn, towards end September. One thing though - paeonies hate root disturbance, so if you really want to move it, decide on its permanent position. When you dig it up, take as large an area of soil around it as possible and keep it intact as you move it so that the plant, hopefully, doesn't experience root disturbance.
