hello all , I have a lot of tall Orinoco plants as id'd in the "late august bloom" thread in the I D section

My question is,, are they cold hardy enough that can I cut them off at the ground and cover them up like I do my Musa Basjoo's ? and have them survive and grow next spring. or do I need to dig them all out?

I'm in zone 7a-7b,,western Kentucky and SE Missouri

Time seems to be running out fast!!!

Thanks for all your advice!!
