My healthy flowering ginger that gave a great display last summer still has its leaves on, slightly weather beaten but still live. Should I cut them back to allow the plant to put its energy into new leaves?
I don't know but I will bump this up to the top as Hostafan will be in from his garden shortly and he grows loads of it.
Thanks Lyn
I treat them like Cannas, and cut them down to the ground.
I think that's what Hosta does with his Doc, not sure but I think so. They grow huge, 6' or more.
I'd say if the leaves are grotty looking, I'd remove, but if they still look healthy, I'd leave.
Not sure how bad " slightly weather beaten " is.
Bit like us I suppose.
to both Verdun and Lyn.
