Hoping for bigger peony blooms next spring? Fall is the best time to cut more info back herbaceous peonies—after the first frost and once the leaves begin to yellow. Proper pruning encourages lush growth, prevents disease, and prepares your garden for 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 benefit from light trimming—just remove dead wood and spent flowers!
What You’ll Need: Sanitized pruning shears, gloves, disinfectant, and a sharp eye for dead foliage.
Avoid common mistakes: Don’t prune too early, and always disinfect your tools to prevent cross-contamination.
