Want your peonies to bloom brighter next year? Fall is the best time to cut back garden peonies—when the first frost arrives and once foliage turns yellow. Proper pruning promotes lush growth, prevents disease, and ensures a spectacular spring bloom.
Why it matters:
- Removes damaged foliage like powdery mildew
- Redirects energy toward next season’s blooms
- Keeps your peony plants healthy and shapely
Pro Tip: Tree peonies need less pruning—just remove dry branches and spent flowers!
What You’ll Need: Sharp and clean pruning shears, gloves, disinfectant, and a sharp eye for dying leaves.
Avoid common mistakes: Don’t prune prematurely, and always disinfect your tools after each plant.
