Want your peonies to bloom brighter next year? Fall is the best time to cut back garden peonies—once frost has hit and once the leaves begin to yellow. Proper pruning encourages vigorous growth, prevents disease, and sets the stage for 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 benefit from light trimming—just remove dry branches and spent flowers!
What You’ll Need: read more Sharp and clean pruning shears, gloves, disinfectant, and a sharp eye for dead foliage.
Avoid common mistakes: Don’t prune before frost, and always disinfect your tools between plants.
