OK, just remember...........there are no stupid questions..................so, here goes. I really like the Lyre Leaf Sage foliage, but the little seed heads they send up are ugly and really detract from the otherwise attractive plant. I would like to use this as a ground cover. This year I had about 6-8 sq feet of it out in #7. I just pinched or snipped them off once in a while as I was going by. No big deal. I'd like to have them up in the house beds next year, but can't keep from thinking I'd just be making more work for myself, since I would want them to stay trimmed up, but I sure wouldn't want to have to do it every day. Question: Is there anything that will retard the blooming.? Oh gosh!! I can hear how dumb that question is as I write it, but I'll leave it just to give all a good laugh.
