Family Plot Garden Guide 18 days ago

Description

After peonies finish blooming, cutting off the spent flowers makes the plant more pleasing and focuses it on gathering energy for next year’s blooms. Removing faded blooms and seed heads helps prevent the plant from putting energy into seed production and instead directs it into strong foliage growth and root development for next year’s flowers. Learn how to properly cut back peony flowers, remove any dead or collapsed stems, and lightly shape the plant into a balanced, rounded shrub while leaving any remaining blooms intact until they finish.
