Looking to enhance your peony blooms next season? Fall is the best time to cut back garden peonies—when the first frost arrives and once leaves show signs of yellowing. Proper pruning promotes lush growth, reduces disease risk, and sets the stage for a spectacular spring bloom.
Why it matters:
- Removes unhealthy foliage like powdery mildew
- Refocuses energy toward next season’s blooms
- Keeps your peony plants in good shape
Pro Tip: Tree peonies benefit from light trimming—just remove dead wood and spent flowers!
What You’ll Need: Sharp and clean pruning shears, gloves, disinfectant, and a sharp eye for dead foliage.
Avoid common mistakes: Don’t prune check here prematurely, and always disinfect your tools between plants.
