Hoping for bigger peony blooms next spring? Autumn is the ideal season to cut back herbaceous peonies—once frost has hit and once leaves show signs of yellowing. Proper pruning promotes healthy regrowth, reduces disease risk, and sets the stage for a spectacular spring bloom.
Why it matters:
- Removes unhealthy foliage like powdery mildew
- Redirects energy toward next season’s blooms
- Keeps your peony plants healthy and shapely
Pro Tip: Tree peonies need less pruning—just remove dead wood and spent flowers!
What You’ll Need: Clean pruning shears, gloves, disinfectant, and a sharp eye for dying leaves.
Avoid common mistakes: Don’t prune prematurely, and always disinfect your tools between plants.
