Looking to enhance your peony blooms next season? Fall is the best time to cut back garden peonies—once frost has hit and once foliage turns yellow. Proper pruning promotes lush 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 healthy and shapely
Pro Tip: Tree peonies benefit from light trimming—just remove dead wood and spent flowers!
What You’ll Need: Clean pruning shears, gloves, disinfectant, and a sharp eye for unhealthy growth.
Avoid common mistakes: Don’t prune before frost, and always disinfect your tools after each plant.
