Want your peonies to bloom brighter next year? The perfect time to cut back herbaceous peonies—when the first frost arrives and once the check here 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
- Redirects 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 dead foliage.
Avoid common mistakes: Don’t prune prematurely, and always disinfect your tools after each plant.
