Looking to enhance your peony blooms next season? Autumn is the ideal season to cut back herbaceous peonies—after the first frost and once the leaves begin to yellow. Proper pruning supports vigorous growth, prevents disease, and sets the stage for a spectacular 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: Sharp and clean pruning shears, gloves, disinfectant, and a sharp eye for dying leaves.
Avoid common mistakes: Don’t prune before frost, and always disinfect your fall peony pruning tools to prevent cross-contamination.
