Want your peonies to bloom brighter next year? Autumn is the ideal season to cut back garden peonies—once frost has hit and once the leaves begin to yellow. Proper pruning supports healthy regrowth, prevents disease, and ensures a spectacular spring bloom.
Why it matters:
- Removes damaged foliage like powdery mildew
- Refocuses energy toward next season’s blooms
- Keeps your peony plants vigorous and tidy
Pro Tip: Tree peonies need less pruning—just remove dead wood and spent flowers!
What You’ll Need: Sharp and clean pruning shears, gloves, disinfectant, and a sharp eye for dying leaves.
Avoid common mistakes: Don’t prune too early, and always disinfect your tools to prevent cross-contamination.
