Want your peonies to bloom brighter next year? The perfect time to cut back garden peonies—after the first frost and once foliage turns yellow. Proper pruning encourages vigorous growth, reduces disease risk, and prepares your garden for a spectacular spring bloom.
Why it matters:
- Removes unhealthy foliage like powdery mildew
- Shifts energy toward next season’s blooms
- Keeps your peony plants in good shape
Pro Tip: Tree peonies need less pruning—just remove dry branches and spent flowers!
What You’ll Need: Sharp and clean pruning shears, here gloves, disinfectant, and a sharp eye for dead foliage.
Avoid common mistakes: Don’t prune before frost, and always disinfect your tools to prevent cross-contamination.
