Hoping for bigger peony blooms next spring? The perfect time to cut back herbaceous peonies—once frost has hit and once the leaves begin to yellow. Proper pruning encourages healthy regrowth, prevents disease, and sets the stage for a spectacular spring bloom.
Why it matters:
- Removes damaged foliage like powdery mildew
- Redirects 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: Sanitized pruning shears, gloves, disinfectant, and a sharp eye for unhealthy growth.
Avoid common mistakes: Don’t prune prematurely, and always disinfect your tools after each plant.
