Hi Donna,
Let the suckers grow! William Baffin is grown on its own roots, so any
new shoots are going to produce the same flowers.
I have a tremendous William Baffin by my front door that's just
incredible every year:

It's even taller now than in that photograph with more stalks.

Same here, except for moist. The soil here in 5b, East Central Illinois
is dry as a bone. I've lost a lot of stuff this winter to bunnies and
heaving. :(
