As it is in a pot it can go in the ground as soon as you can do it. but not if the ground is frozen.

As long as the soil is not frozen or waterlogged, paeonies shoud be planted in winter or early spring as they start into growth very early in the season. They are also extremely tough plants and will take cold weather in their stride
