Hoping for bigger peony blooms next here spring? The perfect time to cut back herbaceous peonies—once frost has hit and once the leaves begin to yellow. Proper pruning encourages lush growth, reduces disease risk, 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 in good shape

 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 unhealthy growth.

 Avoid common mistakes: Don’t prune too early, and always disinfect your tools after each plant.
