First time I've had success with it! What do I do now it's dying back? It's messy, but I certainly don't want to lose it. Do I cut it back to the roots? Help!

No you can just leave it - it will come back next year. If you plant it under Japanese Anemone as one dies back, the other takes over.

I generally cut it back hard to where, hopefully, you will see some green shoots nearer the base. It will regrow back nice and bushy and green.

Thanks both, it's been lovely and although I'm not much of a flower grower, I'll look for Japanese anenome Zaz
