Re: [SG] cutting bulb foliage and epimedium

I am very tempted to try cutting off yellowing leaves but every
conventional source says not to do this. Has anyone else had increase
using this method?

Also; to Gene TY!!! for the hints on epimedium. Exactly what I needed to
know. Carolyn - thant's a good idea to hold it in moist soil until it
emerges. I may use that Idea with others I can't figure heads or tails.
TY too.
