| I am looking to start new leaf growth in my dierama. Could I cut this all the way to the ground after flowering and not hurt the plant? Most people say that it needs only removal of old leaves, but mine looks a bit ragged even during it's growing season. Anyone ever try cutting it to the ground? |

| Maybe rebeccag in Gold Beach will chime in, she grows quite a bit of dierama...I'll go poke her... I could be wrong... and..... "maybe I should have kept my mouth shut....." |

| She says that dierama can be cut back to the ground...sometimes she just cuts back the brown and that the dead brown leaves can often be pulled out also.... I could be wrong... and..... "maybe I should have kept my mouth shut....." |
