Peonies are not like most perennials when it comes time to transplant. They do best when transplanted in late summer/early fall. Here are a few good links that discuss transplanting peonies. Good luck

When can I transplant Peonies?
If you transplant them in the spring before they start to come up, they will likey not bloom this year. If you transplant them in the fall, they should bloom fine next year. I split 3 clumbs and have about 9 blooming clumbs just a few months later. Even a small clump I was ready to throw away is about to bloom. They are very hardy from my experience. They are hard to divide. They don't naturally split. You may need to use some brute force but go ahead.
Reply:In the early spring when they first start to grow or in the fall after they have flowered and just after the first frost.
