Looking to enhance your peony blooms next season? Autumn is the ideal season to cut back garden peonies—when the first frost arrives and once the leaves begin to yellow. Proper pruning supports vigorous growth, reduces disease risk, herbaceous peony care and sets the stage for a spectacular spring bloom.
Why it matters:
- Removes unhealthy foliage like powdery mildew
- Shifts energy toward next season’s blooms
- Keeps your peony plants healthy and shapely
Pro Tip: Tree peonies benefit from light trimming—just remove dead wood and spent flowers!
What You’ll Need: Clean pruning shears, gloves, disinfectant, and a sharp eye for dead foliage.
Avoid common mistakes: Don’t prune prematurely, and always disinfect your tools after each plant.
