Want your peonies to bloom brighter next year? Autumn is the ideal season to cut back herbaceous peonies—when the first frost arrives and once leaves show signs of yellowing. Proper pruning supports lush growth, reduces disease risk, and ensures a spectacular spring bloom.
Why it matters:
- Removes damaged foliage like powdery mildew
- Shifts energy toward next season’s blooms
- Keeps your peony plants vigorous and tidy
Pro Tip: Tree peonies require minimal cutting—just remove dead wood and spent flowers!
What You’ll Need: Sanitized pruning shears, gloves, disinfectant, and a sharp eye for dying leaves.
Avoid common mistakes: Don’t prune before frost, and always disinfect your tools between plants.
