Hoping for bigger peony blooms next spring? Fall is the best time to cut back garden peonies—once frost has hit and once leaves fall peony pruning show signs of yellowing. Proper pruning supports healthy regrowth, prevents disease, and sets the stage for a spectacular spring bloom.
Why it matters:
- Removes damaged foliage like powdery mildew
- Redirects energy toward next season’s blooms
- Keeps your peony plants in good shape
Pro Tip: Tree peonies benefit from light trimming—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 before frost, and always disinfect your tools after each plant.
