Want your peonies to bloom brighter next year? Fall is the best time to cut back herbaceous peonies—once frost has hit and once foliage turns yellow. Proper pruning promotes lush growth, reduces disease risk, and sets the stage 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 vigorous and tidy
Pro Tip: Tree peonies click here require minimal cutting—just remove dead wood and spent flowers!
What You’ll Need: Sanitized 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.
