Just curious what other daylily growers due before winter sets in.The man that comes out to do my yearly state inspection told me that it is best to remove as much of the foliage as possible before winter and discard it. I have always let it die back naturally then raked it off and discarded it in the spring of the next year,with the exception of last year . I followed his advice and removed all leaves and destroyed them. I did not lose anything over the winter nor did I notice anything different.I would like to know other growers opinion on this matter.
