When the peony fades, it is not necessary to cut the bush completely. It is in the stems that nutrients are formed, which contribute to the laying of a new ovary of buds for the next year.

Therefore, it is worth cutting off only dry flowers. And the stem should stand until late autumn. You can do this with the onset of the first frosts.

If you have a very young small bush, when the first buds appear, florists advise cutting them so that the bush grows faster and there are more flowers in the following seasons. Take care of the peony properly and it will thank you with lush flowering next year.
