Bad Weather Peonies
Rain Resistant
Some peonies don't stand up well to rain and wind — the petals come off, and the blossom looks very ragged. Here are some varieties that are very rain and wind resistant:
First Arrival, Krinkled White, Krinkled White, Sword Dance.
Heat resistant
Peonies prefer cold winters; they generally do best in Hardiness zones 3 - 8. However, there are some peonies which are particularly good at standing up to hot climates. Here are some examples:
Buckeye Belle, Early Scout, and Miss America.
