Hi Linda. I cut mine so there is about 1" left. I like the clean look in winter and fall.
Linda, next time, to get your whole question in, try this: on the title line type the key words, like: Cutting perennials for winter?
Then in the next box you are encouraged to add more details, like: How far down should I cut my perennials for winter? I just bought a dragon’s tooth begonia and I’m wondering if I should leave it with the other plants, or eat it for dinner.
That last part was silly, but in that description box you can write all the pertinent information to get better answers. Best wishes 😇
