Best Time to Trim Peonies for Full Blooms and Stronger Plants
Wiki Article
Hoping for bigger peony blooms next spring? Autumn is the ideal season to cut back garden peonies—once frost has hit and once foliage turns yellow. Proper pruning supports healthy regrowth, reduces disease risk, and sets the stage for a spectacular spring bloom.
Why it matters:
- Removes unhealthy foliage like powdery mildew
- Refocuses 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: Clean pruning shears, gloves, disinfectant, and a sharp eye for dead foliage.
Avoid common mistakes: Don’t prune too early, and always disinfect your tools between plants.
