Hi guys. I live in central South Carolina (Zone 8b) and have Red Iholene and Raja Puri bananas that I would like to leave in the ground during the winter months. Both are said to be hardy in my area, but I am wondering what I should do to help protect them. Should I cut the plant back and mulch them like I do my canna's?
