For many years I have tried without success to grow a Tropaeolum up a conifer. This year I bought a larger plant a n it flowered beautifully. It now look dead which I am hoping is natural die back. What do I do now. Do I prune it to its base and do I mulch ??

Is it Tropeolum Speciolum (red Flowers)? It dies back in winter and may reappear in a slightly different position from where you planted it, as I have discovered. It's beautiful growing through a conifer.
Thanks Joyce Do you recommend cutting back the dead shoots?
I leave about 2 feet on it just to remind me where it is when weeding etc in the spring.
