Help! I"ve recently moved from nothern VA to east central Florida and would like to find a variety of peonies that would grow in the 9B zone (Grant, FL)
To my knowledge peonies require a period of freezing in order to bloom. They are hardy from Zone 2 to Zone 8. Zone 8 is pushing it.
Check out the Old House Gardens peony section. Some of their customers have had great success with 'Krinkled White' in Zone 8. Good luck!
