Want your peonies to bloom brighter next year? Autumn is the ideal season to cut back herbaceous peonies—once frost has hit and once foliage turns yellow. Proper pruning encourages vigorous 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 in good shape
Pro Tip: Tree peonies benefit from light trimming—just remove dry branches and spent flowers!
What You’ll Need: Clean pruning shears, gloves, disinfectant, and a sharp eye for dying leaves.
Avoid common mistakes: Don’t prune before frost, and always disinfect your tools to prevent cross-contamination.
