Here in extreme SE Iowa (zone 5) we had a couple of weeks of VERY warm

Well, needless to say the plants really suffered. The tulips and
daffodils appear to be recovering but the hostas are really a mess and
most of them were about 8 to 12 inches tall when the cold weather came.

Finally, the question; do we cut them back or just wait and see how they
make out on their own?

Amazingly enough, they will be just fine. Heck, the snowdrops and daffodils
were still there after the last snow. I might go pick some daffodils before
the snow falls (AGAIN, (&(*&(*@##&^*&^(#) tomorrow.
