Digging up peony

9 years ago

Hi, first planted some peonies 4 years ago

1. My Karl Rosenfield was purchased with 6 blooms. It bloomed the same next year, then 7 blooms the next, then 4, then none this year. From reading, it could be due to my top dressing every year of all the plants, which has made it too deep. (The soil is settling and the flower bed is still lower than the surrounding). Can I just remove some soil at the crown and keep that area clear, so the eyes are closer to the surface, or do I have to dig it up and plant it shallower?

2. My tree peony Renkaku flowered for the first time this year. Then I googled pictures and found how large they can get and realized it has been planted in the wrong spot. I will dig it up and move it, just wondering if it will set back flowering?
