Here's my Molly which just opened yesterday.
We had a heavy rain overnight and it's still standing tall.
I find the foliage attractive and the seed pods can be entertaining as well.
I site mine in open shade (under fairly high tree canopy with just morning sun).
I have several other species peonies which do spectacularly in the same setting.
P. japonica, p. obovata, p wittmanniana, p mairei and p rockii to name a few.
In your climate, they might do better with full sun. They'd cook in full sun here.
2nd picture shows how it is a bee magnet.
3rd is the foliage & habit (& my shoe, I see...)
You can see, it's still a young plant.
