Member # 772 posted                       Yep, cut them down.. *or I just leave them for spring clean up when I'm looking for brown for my compost bins..* The roots are where your next plant comes from, it'll send up new shoots from there and send a bit long runner root alot a path and then send up another plant from there also..... I love asters.. I have lot's of wild ones, all different colors.. sooooo pretty.. and the honey bees are loving them late fall.. * * * * Weezie Don't forget to be kind to strangers.

Member # 6964 posted                       Good idea sibyl. Know why ? It falls over and makes a natural cover for the plant an seeds below....It wont blow away..... Good thinking. And less to pick up in the spring.. It shrinks. dodge * * * * ''''Those who live in the Lord Never See Each Other For The Last Time!''''
