I had read that anything that has leaves that turn brown and fall to the ground
that is the time to cut the leaf off...

that insects live under them in the dirt more so..more nematodes etc..

That is why I asked..

all the daylilys in my garden will turn brown by december..and it would be neater
and collect less leaves from fall tree shedding if I were to clip across the daylilys by hand...

and have that out of the way when March comes and time to blow leaves out which there will be a huge amount on my flower bed..

and then
when those leaves are gotten out of the bed, then time to buy cypress mulch
and then also do individual fertilizing ..

That included daylilys, iris and a few more on a fall flower garden tidying up
article I had read this week..on tidying them up..

so I put it out there on this site for others to tell me their thoughts
Thank you both, and hope we get more answers...
