Want your peonies to bloom brighter next year? The perfect time to cut back herbaceous peonies—when the first frost arrives and once leaves show signs of yellowing. Proper pruning supports healthy regrowth, reduces disease risk, and sets the stage for 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 healthy and shapely

 Pro Tip: Tree peonies benefit from more info light trimming—just remove dry branches and spent flowers!

 What You’ll Need: Sharp and clean pruning shears, gloves, disinfectant, and a sharp eye for dying leaves.

 Avoid common mistakes: Don’t prune before frost, and always disinfect your tools after each plant.
