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

 Why it matters:

•  Removes damaged 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 dead wood and herbaceous peony care spent flowers!

 What You’ll Need: 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 to prevent cross-contamination.
