Post-Peony bloom tips for even better blooms next year

Your peonies are likely blooming or coming into bloom about now, but what to do after they bloom?

Two easy steps for great peonies next year:

1. Remove the faded blooms (deadhead) to focus plant energy on root and leaf growth until Fall.
2. Many peony die back to the ground once an autumn frost kills the plant's foliage. At that time, cut away the dead leaves. New growth will appear in the spring and you'll have another gorgeous display.
