6 feet? My plants started out 2 feet and barely made it to 3 over the summer. I thought they'd be better off if I let them stay in the ground, so I've already chopped them down to about 1 1/2' and mulched them.
If I dig them up next year, do I leave the leaves on and shake off the dirt, or try and pot them?
