Trisha,

I may be in the minority here but in my garden, I plant the broms out right. Usually the plants will put off a pup or two before really becoming unsightly. At that time, I dig the original 1/2 dead brom up and throw it into my brom graveyard on the side yard. I do not plant them, just toss them into a pile. Believe it or not, these ratty plants usually produce another pup or two before taking it's final bow.

cut away the dead mom and up comes the new pups
