JoAnn,

In this neck of the woods we leave them in the ground, they come back when the ground temps warm up.

Some folks cut them back and mulch the bed. Other people leave the ragged foilage on until spring as it provide some protection from freezing, I think the mulch looks better.

Helconia doesn't like the weather when it goes below 60.
