Yes, cut the dead heads off the peonies. They will produce more and bigger flowers.

I never have mine and we have had ours for years and it is huge. Others are suggesting you do, so I guess it can't hurt either way. We cut ours back in the fall and it always shots right back up in the spring. Went from a .75 cent 1/2 dead plant to a huge bush now.

Just remove the dead heads.

I just let mine go the way they are with the dead buds on them. I just leave the dead buds on there, I have never had a problem.

It gets rid of the dead part so the plant can recover and reflower

Yes you should always remove dead heads and foilage

You can clip them, but if you forget nature will take care of the dried out element.

Yes, otherwise the plant will waste energy making seeds you don't want.

Yep. Just pinch'em right off.
Deadheading helps promote new growth.
