Question
I live in central Ohio.  Should I cut my Hostas and Peonies down for the winter?
Thanks

Answer
Hi Cathy,
Thanx for your question.  Yes, it's time to put perennials to bed for the winter in Central Ohio.  You can safely cut back your peonies to a couple of inches above the ground.  For the hostas, I would clean them up next spring.  Allow the leaves to act as a mulch for the hostas unless you absolutely can't stand the untidiness.  I hope this helps.
