| These plants have been growing very nice this year... but they are growing a bit tall where they are flopping over. It seems if I were to cut them I would be removing the nice foliage leaving stems to show.. How do I maintain this plant ? Thanks |

| It sounds like you're talking about Silver Mound....? That one flops open easily if it gets too tall. I cut mine back to 3-4" and time it gets taller than 5" or so. It looks obviously cut back for a day or two but quickly recovers. The easiest way to cut it back is with grass shears - a couple of clips with those makes a fast and even cut. |
