Hoping for bigger peony blooms next spring? The perfect time to cut back herbaceous peonies—when the first frost arrives and once foliage turns yellow. Proper pruning supports vigorous growth, reduces disease risk, and ensures 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: Clean pruning shears, gloves, disinfectant, and a sharp eye for dead foliage.
Avoid common mistakes: Don’t prune prematurely, and always disinfect your tools between plants.
