Any info on cutting back dead asters for the winter?

I cut my asters and chrysanthemums just about down to the ground and then mulch over them with leaves.

Yep, cut them down..
*or I just leave them for spring clean up when I'm looking for brown for my compost bins..*
The roots are where your next plant comes from,
it'll send up new shoots from there and send a bit long runner root alot a path and then send up another plant from there also.....
I love asters..
I have lot's of wild ones, all different colors..
sooooo pretty.. and the honey bees are loving them late fall..

done this have entertained angels without realizing it.

Good idea sibyl.
Know why ? It falls over and makes a natural cover for the plant an seeds below....It wont blow away.....
Good thinking. And less to pick up in the spring.. It shrinks.
