My Sunroot has been growing for about 5 months and is now 2 metres in height and flowering boldly. Do I wait.for the flowers to die off before I dig up the roots? They are extremely healthy. Steve

Wait for the flowers and the leaves to wilt and die off. Once they're all going brown, cut back and dig up the roots.
