Peonies after flowering?

Question

How do I look after them after flowering. I live in England

Answer 1

Cut them back to about 4-6 ins. from the ground. they look unsightly anyway after flowering.

Answer 2

Cut to approximately 2 inches in height.  Do not discard plant material in compost pile.  Sometimes peonies suffer from a fungus that will spread to other plants if the cuttings are mixed with compost.  Peonies will rebloom next spring.

Answer 3

cut them right back to preserve their strength and wait for more flowers next year. lol
