1. Snow could return. If you’re in the northern half of the U.S., it very well might snow again — and snow a good deal. Leaving plants up will help them gather snow around themselves, which insulates the root zone. Snows are often followed by a day or two of bitter cold, and even the cold-tolerant plants will want a blanket if that happens.
In addition, many plants have hollow stems. When water gets down toward the bottom of a stem or stalk, it may freeze at the center of the plant and cause injury or death. There’s no reason to cut off the sealed cover of a stem at this point.
