Hoping for bigger peony blooms next spring? The perfect time to cut back herbaceous peonies—once frost has hit and once leaves show signs of yellowing. Proper pruning promotes vigorous growth, reduces disease risk, 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 healthy and shapely
Pro Tip: Tree peonies benefit from light trimming—just remove dry branches 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 prematurely, and always disinfect your tools after each plant.
