Want your peonies to bloom brighter next year? The perfect time to cut back garden peonies—when the first frost arrives and once leaves show signs of yellowing. Proper pruning supports lush growth, reduces disease herbaceous peony care risk, and ensures a spectacular spring bloom.
Why it matters:
- Removes unhealthy foliage like powdery mildew
- Refocuses energy toward next season’s blooms
- Keeps your peony plants vigorous and tidy
Pro Tip: Tree peonies benefit from light trimming—just remove dry branches and spent flowers!
What You’ll Need: Sanitized pruning shears, gloves, disinfectant, and a sharp eye for unhealthy growth.
Avoid common mistakes: Don’t prune before frost, and always disinfect your tools between plants.
