When pruning peonies in winter, pay attention to the time. It should be done after the leaves fall, not too early, otherwise it is easy to bloom early and the flowers will not bloom as scheduled next spring. The general pruning principle is to proceed one foot long and eight inches back, and cut off the fourth and above buds. Also pay attention to the pruning steps, first cut off dead branches, diseased branches, and thin and weak branches. Larger seedlings also need to be sewn three to one. When leaving buds, keep them bent and outward-growing, so that there will be more space for new branches to grow later and the plant shape will be more beautiful.
