Hoping for bigger peony blooms next spring? The perfect time to cut back garden peonies—when the first frost arrives and once the leaves begin to yellow. Proper pruning promotes vigorous growth, prevents disease, herbaceous peony care and prepares your garden for a spectacular spring bloom.
Why it matters:
- Removes unhealthy foliage like powdery mildew
- Redirects energy toward next season’s blooms
- Keeps your peony plants healthy and shapely
Pro Tip: Tree peonies require minimal cutting—just remove dry branches and spent flowers!
What You’ll Need: Sharp and clean pruning shears, gloves, disinfectant, and a sharp eye for unhealthy growth.
Avoid common mistakes: Don’t prune too early, and always disinfect your tools to prevent cross-contamination.
