Leave foliage on until Fall?

15 years ago

My peonies are starting to take over the whole bed so I think they need to be divided this Fall.

In the past, I have left the foliage alone for the entire season before cutting it back to the ground. But now that they have become so cumbersome, I wanted to know if that much foliage ripening is really necessary. Could I leave the foliage for, say, 8 weeks and then cut it down? Or does it require the whole summer to perform well next year?
