Peonies are usually moved or divided in the fall. But you can buy them from nurseries in the spring.

Fall is when you divide peony bushes. You dig one entire bush up and rinse it off carefully. Keep the plant in the shade while it dries. Each plant must have at least one crown bud. Then you can plant or store them in peat moss till you are ready. But don't wait too long. The crown bud should not be planted more than 2 inches deep.

Fern leaf peonies are rare and beautiful. They need lots of compost to get a good start.
