Hoping for bigger peony blooms next spring? The perfect time to cut back herbaceous peonies—after the first frost and once the leaves begin to yellow. Proper pruning supports lush growth, reduces disease risk, and ensures 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 need less pruning—just remove dead wood 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 prematurely, and always read more disinfect your tools between plants.
