Looking to enhance your peony blooms next season? Autumn is the ideal season to cut back garden peonies—when the first frost arrives and once the leaves begin to yellow. Proper pruning supports lush growth, prevents disease, and sets the stage for a spectacular spring bloom.
Why it matters:
- Removes damaged 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: Sharp and clean pruning shears, gloves, disinfectant, and a sharp eye for dead foliage.
Avoid common mistakes: Don’t prune too early, and always disinfect your tools after each plant.
