Name: Patti Australian Alps (Zone 8a) I will never act my age.
Mine is a winter dormant variety. After mine is finished blooming I cut any remaining flower spikes off, then leave it alone for winter. I don't remove any dead leaves because they are good insulation. In early Spring I use a hand rake and pull all the dead leaves out, dragging the rake through it like combing hair It seems to love that and it cleans it up nicely without having cut off leaves spoiling the cascade.
