From Ground: Start by watering the woodland peony plant, this will make the removal process easier. Next, using a shovel, carefully dig around the plant, ensuring you are wide enough to not damage the roots. Once done, gently slide your spade under the root ball and lift the plant. The objective is to preserve as much of the root structure and soil around it as possible.
From Pot: If the woodland peony is coming from a pot, first, water the plant to slightly loosen the roots. Then, tip the pot sideways and gently slide the plant out, making sure to keep the root ball intact. If the plant is stuck, tap the edges of the pot to loosen it.
From Seedling Tray: To remove the woodland peony from a seedling tray, water the seedlings and then carefully push the plant from the bottom of the tray, once again making certain to keep the root ball and surrounding soil intact.
