Falling coneflowers, help!

Clarksburg, WV(Zone 6a)

Any advice for me? It has been dry lately. Some of the fallen stems are just coming loose from the ground. I watered a couple of days ago but it hasn't helped yet. Should I cut the plant back? If so by how much. My other coneflower variety is doing well. Thanks for any advice.

Do you mean they are no longer connected to the plant? Coneflowers can tend to flop over. A tomato cage or other support ring can help keep them upright.

Thanks Cville for your advice on using a support ring.
