Q. I have clumps of peonies in my yard that put on a beautiful display every spring and then quickly start to look rather messy. Is it recommended to deadhead my peonies after they have finished flowering?
A: Peonies should be deadheaded as by removing the dead and dying flowers it helps to neaten up their appearance, reduce any risk of fungal infections, and also promote a healthier plant ready to flower again next spring.
