Just cut the dead part back and they should be peeking up underneath.

Hope

Subject: [Gardening] Canna Lilies

Hi List,

I have a question about preparing canna lilies for spring.  I was the happy recipient of these lilies when someone put them on their curb last year (thanks!) and they thrived when I planted them.  They got a little extra mulch in the fall and I've done nothing to them since then.  Should I cut back the dead stalks?  Have I killed them, never to see their cheery flowers again?

Thanks,

SJ
