Looking to enhance your peony blooms next season? The perfect time to cut back herbaceous peonies—after the first frost and cutting back peonies in fall once foliage turns yellow. Proper pruning encourages lush growth, reduces disease risk, and prepares your garden for a spectacular spring bloom.
Why it matters:
- Removes disease-prone foliage like powdery mildew
- Refocuses 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: Sharp 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 to prevent cross-contamination.
