In California, it is possible to grow peonies for warm climates successfully, although the size and length of bloom is less than colder areas of the United States.  Success can easily be achieved by planting single, semi-double or early double types of peonies as they need to bloom before the temperatures rise too much in the spring.  If it gets too hot, the buds may not open.  I have some mid-season peonies in my garden which have bloomed nicely after about three years, but the early doubles are the best in our warmer climate in Northern California.  Over 600 plants bloom in my peony bed which is planted on the western side of my property under the partial shade of oaks. It is usually recommended that they be planted with eastern exposure and afternoon shade.  Several of the plants are located on my eastern side outside of my fence, and the deer have not bothered them.
