Looking to enhance your peony blooms next season? The perfect time to cut back garden peonies—when the first frost arrives and once the leaves begin to yellow. Proper pruning supports healthy regrowth, prevents disease, and prepares your garden for 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 dead wood 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 between plants.
