Looking to enhance your peony blooms next season? The perfect time to cut back herbaceous peonies—when the first frost arrives peony maintenance tips and once leaves show signs of yellowing. Proper pruning encourages lush growth, reduces disease risk, and 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 vigorous and tidy

 Pro Tip: Tree peonies benefit from light trimming—just remove dead wood and spent flowers!

 What You’ll Need: Sharp and 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 after each plant.
