Susan  -sow it ASAP, then let it follow a natural sequence of temperatures.
Peonies need a warm-cold-warm sequence (sometimes two of them) to
germinate; so seed sowed now and put in a sheltered outdoor environment
shouldn't be expected to come up until spring 2006 at the earliest.  

You can also try simulating that temperature sequence with refrigeration
(i.e. 3 mos warm, 3 mos in fridge, 3 mos warm again) but I find it a whole
lot easier to let themselves get established on a natural schedule.

Best wishes,
Ellen
