    Hi Alexandra, welcome to Gardeners Corner:thumbsup::D I have 9 different Peonies in my borders and they're are one of my most favourite herbaceous plants. Basically if the Peony you want to plant is in a pot then you can plant it whenever you want, providing the ground is not frozen.:D

    Just don't plant them too deeply (the herbaceous types we are talking about). The top of the plant should be no more than an inch below the surface. They need cold ripening to form flower buds. Main reason for not flowering is that they have been planted too deeply or mulched too heavily.
    Tree paeonies are different, they should be treated like any other shrub.
