Can peony be planted in Southern CA?
Answers:
I have had Peonies in S Cal. They will grow, but they will not bloom without the freezing temperatures that they need to go dormant. It is that regrowth in the spring, after the winter rest, that produces those magnificent flowers, I am now enjoying in Oregon.

Yes indeed they can and will be much larger than here in KY.
Just make sure you keep it watered but not over watered even during its dormant period.

as long as it has the right soil and enough water sun and shade
It is slightly possible that you can get peonies to grow in So. California but doubt it.. Peonies like a winter to go thru in order to grow into the beautiful flowers that they are. It would not hurt(perhaps a little money) to TRY.. Make sure that the plant(peony) is not too much in the shade but somewhat in the sun. Good luck... I think you will need it
