   Well I never have - keep trying but they look miserable and have
   never bloomed.

   But Filoli (in Woodside, climate much like yours) has a big bed of
   luscious herbaceous peonies in their cutting garden. I wish I knew
   what their secret was. I don't know what their varieties are, you might
   give them a call.
