Want your peonies to bloom brighter next year? Fall is the best time to cut back garden peonies—when the first frost arrives and once leaves show signs of yellowing. Proper pruning promotes vigorous growth, prevents disease, and sets here the stage for a spectacular spring bloom.
Why it matters:
- Removes disease-prone foliage like powdery mildew
- Redirects energy toward next season’s blooms
- Keeps your peony plants vigorous and tidy
Pro Tip: Tree peonies need less pruning—just remove dry branches 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 before frost, and always disinfect your tools after each plant.
