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 lush growth, reduces disease risk, and sets the stage for 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 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 too early, and always disinfect your tools check here to prevent cross-contamination.
