Should Calla Lily leave die naturally over the bulbs..

| Do I cut down the current leaves on my calla lily plants or let them die naturally and leave them alone? The plants are in the ground and I never dig the bulbs up and bring them inside during the winter. I was thinking the green leaves on top now could die naturally and serve as a mulch/fertilizer for the bulbs below. What do you think? Carrie in Charlotte NC |

| It doesn't matter. If you leave them on while they are green they will feed the bulb, but they don't look so good as the weather cools so many gardeners cut them back. |

| The longer you leave the leaves on, the more they feed the bulbs. If you want to cut them back, wait until the leaves turn very yellow. |
