I searched the web for you but the only thing I found sounded like a Chinese importer so I couldn't recommend them. You can buy the roots, usually sliced, from Frontier, Starwest or Mountain Rose Herbs.

Here's what I'd do if I needed peony root tincture, I'd buy the cut root in bulk and make my own extract. Put the roots in a glass jar and cover with vodka or other spirit (I like Everclear because it's tasteless, dilute it w/1 part water to 3 parts liquor.) so that the herb floats. Close with a non-metal lid or line a metal lid w/ plastic wrap. Put in a dark cabinet or wrap the jar in brown paper to keep light out. Shake thoroughly once a day and check liquid to make sure the herb is still floating loosly. After 3 weeks, strain the herb out and discard. The resulting extract is not quite as strong as a professional tincture, so increase dose by about 10-15%.
