Do guara flower stems get trimmed?

I’ve planted several guara plants in beds next to the entrance walkway to my house. They seem happy for the most part, but one of them has flowers that are tilting onto the driveway. I’ve tried talking to the plant, setting it straight and compacting the soil around it, and pondered trimming its flower stalks. Any advice?

This plant would do well with a ring support placed around it.
You can purchase them in most garden centers.

You certainly can trim away the flowers that are falling into the walkway without harming the plant.
