Many years ago, my Dad lost his blackberries, planted near the edge of the
property, when the neighbor used a Weed and Feed type product.
Maybe you could shovel off a side clump of the peony and move it somewhere
safer, so you'll still have at least part of it, just in case. I don't
know how big the peony clump is, so I don't know whether this would be
practical.
