Cockscomb

Question

Can I cut the stalks short in the fall or should they
Be left long? I cut all the heads off to harvest the seeds
And the stalks don’t look good for the winter.

Answer 1

This will not hurt it at all. You would be fine to do so. Here is an article for more information on the care of this: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/cockscomb/growing-cockscomb-flowers.htm
