I had cleaners too.I didnt know or didnt remember to check which plants needed cutting.It was teeming down rain when I walked them thru and said no cutting to Oriental Poppies or iris or lavender.
Later I found out helebores shouldnt be cut.I could have slit my own throat.The men did what I told them but I was wrong and have no one to blame but me.
I am hoping the Helebores that were cut will grow new leaves.They ARE growing bud s. I will do my own cleaning from now on and take longer to do because its so tiring.
The hard stuff are the lilies.
Lynn: do you see any sign of leaves on your cut ones?
