Hey there... When is a good time to cut down, trim perennials..? Already had frost so am thinking colder weather will come in early.

Thanks much

In general you should do pruning early in the year so new tissue can cover the wound during the growing season.

If by "cut down" you mean remove entirely, then whenever you want.

No...I meant cutting them short so they can start over in the spring if that makes sense
