Want your peonies to bloom brighter next year? The perfect time to cut back garden peonies—when the first frost arrives and once leaves show signs of yellowing. Proper pruning encourages vigorous growth, prevents disease, and ensures a spectacular spring bloom.
Why it matters:
- Removes unhealthy foliage like powdery mildew
- Refocuses energy toward next season’s blooms
- Keeps your peony plants in good shape
Pro Tip: Tree peonies benefit from light trimming—just remove dead wood and spent flowers!
What You’ll Need: Sharp and clean pruning shears, gloves, disinfectant, and a sharp eye for dead foliage.
Avoid common mistakes: Don’t prune pruning peonies before frost, and always disinfect your tools between plants.
