Ge1836, I cut back all the spent blooms now only about 6 to 12 inches so they bloom again later this summer. Just a trim. Then I do more in the late fall to keep them from becoming huge as they are in the border. Here is one that didn't pruned yesterday that I took of it on June 27th. The darker ones, 'Anthony Waterer' are still lovely as is the one with 3 colors on one plant, 'Shirobana'. But the pale pink ones had gone by. I keep one totally pruned of all it's blooms, 'Goldmound' as I don't like the chartreuse and pink combo. They do not seem to be invasive here at all, though very easy to propagate. Thus I have too many. Patti
