How to prune peony flowers

When pruning the branches of peonies, first remove the dead, diseased, and rotten branches. Then determine the strength of the branches and cut off the thin and weak branches and some unnecessary and duplicate branches. Keep the strong branches with flower buds to prevent excessive consumption of nutrients that cannot be supplied to where they are needed. In principle, three main branches should be left on each plant, and three side branches should be left on the main branches to make it strong.

2. Prune the remaining flowers

After the flowers bloom and fade, prune away the remaining flowers. This will ensure that there are nutrients for the new flowers to bloom normally, and keep the plant in a more beautiful posture.

3. Remove the residual leaves

Choose to remove the dead leaves from the peonies in autumn and winter. If the dead leaves are not cleaned up in time, the possibility of diseases and pests occurring in the next year will increase.
