Looking to enhance your peony blooms next season? The perfect time to cut back herbaceous peonies—when the first frost arrives and once leaves show signs of yellowing. Proper pruning supports healthy regrowth, reduces disease risk, 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 vigorous and tidy
Pro Tip: Tree peonies require minimal cutting—just remove dry branches and spent flowers!
What You’ll Need: Sharp website 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.
