Hoping for bigger peony blooms next spring? Autumn is the ideal season to cut back garden peonies—after the first frost and once leaves show signs of yellowing. Proper pruning supports vigorous growth, prevents disease, and sets the stage for a spectacular spring bloom.
Why it matters:
- Removes unhealthy foliage like powdery mildew
- Refocuses energy toward next season’s blooms
- Keeps your peony plants vigorous and tidy
Pro Tip: Tree peonies benefit from light website trimming—just remove dry branches and spent flowers!
What You’ll Need: Sanitized pruning shears, gloves, disinfectant, and a sharp eye for dying leaves.
Avoid common mistakes: Don’t prune too early, and always disinfect your tools between plants.
