Unless you want dead plants, remove mulch from on top and don't allow mulch to
touch the crown of plants.

I just put some mulch down covering ground cover plants and day
lillies with about 4" of processed wood mulch. Should I have covered
them or should I have just applied mulch around the roots leacing the
portion above the surface open to the elements?

Thanks,

Steve
