Herbaceous peonies are very hardy perennials that bloom in early to mid-spring, depending on the variety.  In the fall, stems need to be pruned back to a few inches above ground level.  Optimum growth is achieved in an area with fertile, well drained soil and full sun.  Flowers are excellent cut flowers.
