Pro Tip: Tree peonies benefit from light trimming—just remove dead wood and spent flowers!
What You’ll Need: Sanitized pruning shears, gloves, peony maintenance tips disinfectant, and a sharp eye for dead foliage.
Avoid common mistakes: Don’t prune before frost, and always disinfect your tools between plants.
