Thanks so much. That is exactly what I am talking. When you pull all that away, you have a nice clean plant. I was thinking it might be that the plants need to be divided. It seems that some plants are just more susceptible to this also. I also find none of this in plants that are easy to divide, and just fall apart easily. Those that are in tight, hard to seperate clumps almost always have this mess to clean off. As long as I know it isn't harmful, I am ok with it.
Thanks so much.
