Want your peonies to bloom brighter next year? Fall is the best time to cut back herbaceous peonies—after the first frost and once the leaves begin to yellow. Proper pruning encourages lush growth, prevents disease, and ensures a spectacular spring bloom.
Why it matters:
- Removes unhealthy foliage like powdery mildew
- Redirects energy toward next season’s blooms
- Keeps your peony plants in good shape
Pro Tip: Tree peonies need less pruning—just remove dead wood and spent flowers!
What You’ll Need: Clean pruning shears, gloves, disinfectant, and a sharp eye for dying leaves.
Avoid common mistakes: Don’t prune before frost, and always disinfect your tools between plants.
