Default Re: so can you tell me why?

Deb,

I'd definitely save as much of the heigth on the pstems as possible as this is one of the keys to getting bloom the following year. If you cut them way back, the plant essentially has to start all over again. I assume you are planning to overwinter in the house or a greenhouse?
