Looking to enhance your peony blooms next season? Fall is the best time to cut back garden peonies—once frost pruning peonies has hit and once foliage turns yellow. Proper pruning encourages vigorous growth, reduces disease risk, and sets the stage for 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 in good shape

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

 What You’ll Need: Sanitized 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.
