In spring the new growth comes through the dead stickery foliage but the brown shows through in places. I can’t pick through to remove the dead parts & often the long bare stems have new growth on the ends. Help! Is there a way to remove the dead ‘stuff’ from the top of the plant? I’m in zone 4 of Iowa. The beds are healthy but look terrible with all the dead debris on top.
