Instructions
Things You'll Need:
- shovel
- knife
- peony plant

Step 1
The best time to divide your peony plant is in September, but it is also said that it can be done in the spring as well.
Carefully, dig near the base of the plant till you hit the bulb. -
Step 2
Pry it up slightly, brushing away the dirt. Locate a section that has at least three to five eyes on it. Eyes are the small buds. The more eyes the bigger your new plant will be. Using the knife, cut that section off.

Step 3
Locate a new location for the new peony. Dig a hole large enough to cover the whole root, including the eyes. Water and mark where you planted it. I have often relocated plants, then forgot where I put them. The following spring your new plant will grow.
