  7. Cut and store tubers: In fall, after the first frost, cut the stems and foliage back to 2 inches above the ground. Carefully dig up the tubers and store them in a dry, cool place for the winter.
  8. Watch out for pests and diseases: Peonies are susceptible to pests such as ants, and earwigs, and diseases such as botrytis and powdery mildew, so keep an eye out for any signs of infestation or infection and take action as needed.
  9. Be mindful of the weather: Peonies are sensitive to frost, so make sure to protect them from frost by covering them or bringing them indoors if frost is forecasted.
