Life is "mind over matter". If I d
I dug all the bulbs up just today and cut the leaves down to ~ 8".
They were all strong and healthy.
Should I cut them back down to the bulb and let them go dormant?
I always thought that the leaves, as they go dormant, return energy and nutrients to the bulb. Yes?No?
I still have my Cannas to dig up but not until the foliage gets killed
by frost. Then I wait 2more weeks before I dig them up.
So I have learned to do it ages ago. That too is a BIG job!!!
