Want your peonies to bloom brighter next year? Autumn is the ideal season to cut back garden peonies—once frost has hit and once leaves show signs of yellowing. Proper pruning encourages lush growth, reduces disease risk, and ensures a spectacular deadheading peonies spring bloom.
Why it matters:
- Removes disease-prone foliage like powdery mildew
- Shifts energy toward next season’s blooms
- Keeps your peony plants in good shape
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 to prevent cross-contamination.
