<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt">Hi List,<br>
<br>
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&#39;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?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
SJ<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
