Want your peonies to bloom brighter next year? Fall is the best time to cut back herbaceous peonies—after the first frost and once foliage turns yellow. Proper pruning promotes healthy regrowth, prevents disease, and prepares your garden for a spectacular spring bloom.
Why it matters:
- Removes disease-prone 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: Sanitized pruning more info shears, gloves, disinfectant, and a sharp eye for dead foliage.
Avoid common mistakes: Don’t prune too early, and always disinfect your tools after each plant.
