Peony is mainly planted by division, which is most suitable for planting in autumn, that is, from early September to late October every year. At this time, plant divisions are planted, and the ground temperature is higher than the air temperature, which is beneficial to the healing of peony wounds and the germination of new roots. If the plant is divided too early, the peony will be able to germinate and unearth in the same year, but the new buds that emerge will definitely be frostbitten. If the plant is divided too late, the peony will not be able to germinate new roots, which will also reduce its ability to survive the winter.
