grampapa, I would plant those peony now. The most important thing is to plant them at the correct depth. The eyes should be planted 2" below the surface. Make sure the soil is firm underneath the crown so in does not settle. Too deep or shallow will result in no blooms, but if you fail to get blooms next year, just correct the depth. The best time to plant them is in the fall, but I have planted and moved them in the spring without a problem. Enjoy. Here is a picture of that shrub I now love last Sept. Patti
