Want your peonies to bloom brighter cutting back peonies in fall next year? 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 disease-prone 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: Sanitized pruning shears, gloves, disinfectant, and a sharp eye for unhealthy growth.
Avoid common mistakes: Don’t prune prematurely, and always disinfect your tools to prevent cross-contamination.
