cutting leaves of Lily of the valley

Question

Is it Ok to cut down the leaves of the lily of the valley? As they do not cover an entire area, they look a bit messy all over the bed. Thank you.

Answer 1

Cutting them down early before they die back naturally could cause loss of flowers for next spring.
If you have a large area of them and your not to concerned about the loss of flower, you certainly can trim them back.
