In Wiggins you can figure out when it's possible to plant peonies by referring to the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Peonies

When to plant:	Up to 3 weeks before last frost.

Peonies are barely cold tolerant which means that you can start planting them slightly earlier than other frost tender plants.

The last month that you can plant peonies and expect a good harvest is probably August. Any later than that and your peonies may not have a chance to fully mature. Starting your peonies indoors is a great way to get them started a few weeks earlier.
