A way of getting a good idea when you can plant peonies is to refer to the USDA zone info for Miami Gardens.

The last month that you can plant peonies and expect a good harvest is probably September. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your peonies may not have a chance to fully mature. You can get started a little bit earlier by starting your peonies indoors.
