Want your peonies to bloom brighter next year? Fall is the best time to cut back herbaceous peonies—after the first frost and once leaves show signs of yellowing. Proper pruning supports lush growth, prevents disease, and prepares your garden for a spectacular spring bloom.
Why it matters:
- Removes damaged foliage like powdery mildew
- Refocuses energy toward next season’s blooms
- Keeps your peony plants healthy and shapely
Pro Tip: Tree peonies require minimal cutting—just remove dry branches 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.
