How and When to Trim Peonies for Full Blooms and Healthy Growth

 Want your peonies to bloom brighter next year? The perfect time to cut back herbaceous peonies—after the first frost and once foliage turns yellow. Proper pruning promotes lush growth, prevents disease, and here ensures a spectacular spring bloom.

 Why it matters:

  •  Removes disease-prone 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 dead wood and 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 between plants.
