Hoping for bigger peony blooms next spring? Autumn is the ideal season to cut back herbaceous peonies—once frost has hit and once foliage turns yellow. Proper pruning promotes vigorous growth, reduces disease risk, and prepares your garden for read more 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 healthy and shapely

 Pro Tip: Tree peonies need less pruning—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 between plants.
