Peonies are very easy to grow in most any well-drained but moist soil of average fertility in full sun or part shade. In Zone 8 peonies would prefer a break from the hot, direct sun during the mid-afternoon hours. Provide at least 5 hours of direct sun for best flowering. As with many other perennial plants, constantly soggy or wet soils can be problematic. Heavy, dense clay soils should be amended with organic matter to improve drainage. Because peonies grow deep roots, they are generally drought tolerant and carefree when established. That said, some folks like to remove the spent flowers to encourage development of the small side blooms, which extends the bloom period. After the plant is finished blooming for the season spent flower stems can be removed, though this is not necessary.
