Certified ExpertA.I would recommend cutting any brown, or dead growth, while leaving green growth. This article will give you more information on the care of these plants: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/groundcover/lithodora/care-of-lithodora-in-gardens.htm

Certified ExpertA.If it's in a pot, then definitely cleaning away those small dead blossoms should keep it healthy. Here are two articles - one on deadheading and one on pruning:

Although it's generally considered a groundcover, you can overwinter lithadora in a pot, using the same rules as you would an herb.
