Re: CULT: Aborted bloom stalks and rot (some observations..)


I don't know about mulching with the wood chips.  A friend in this area did that one year to a large bed, and virtually every one of the several dozen clumps developed rot or suffered from some other problems the following spring/summer.  Maybe it would be different for your area, but I know I'd never do it.  They hold too much moisture around the rhizomes, don't let the air in to dry things out.
