When to Cut Back Peonies for Lush Blooms and Healthy Growth

 Looking to enhance your peony blooms next season? Fall is the best time to cut back herbaceous peonies—once frost has hit and once foliage turns yellow. Proper pruning supports vigorous growth, prevents disease, and ensures a spectacular spring bloom.

 Why it matters:

  •  Removes unhealthy foliage like powdery mildew
  •  Shifts energy toward next season’s blooms
  •  Keeps your peony plants vigorous and tidy

 Pro Tip: Tree peonies require minimal cutting—just remove dry branches and spent flowers!

 What You’ll Need: Sharp and clean pruning shears, gloves, disinfectant, and a sharp eye for dead foliage.

 Avoid common mistakes: Don’t prune too early, and always disinfect your tools between plants.
