Hoping for bigger peony blooms next spring? The perfect time to cut back herbaceous peonies—once frost has hit and once foliage turns yellow. Proper pruning cutting back peonies in fall supports vigorous growth, prevents disease, and ensures a spectacular spring bloom.
Why it matters:
- Removes damaged foliage like powdery mildew
- Shifts energy toward next season’s blooms
- Keeps your peony plants vigorous and tidy
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 dying leaves.
Avoid common mistakes: Don’t prune prematurely, and always disinfect your tools to prevent cross-contamination.
