Q.wallflower stems
My first wallflower plant. My question is, there are only a few buds now on the very top of the spikes, the rest of the stem is bare. Do I leave the stems alone all summer, or cut them back?

It's important to pinch the flowers back on this plant to keep it blooming. Here are two articles that will be helpful:
