I just dunno, Susan. Setting seed is what triggers its death and I
don't know if only setting some seed is the same to the plant as
setting all seed in that regard. You could experiment, keeping in
mind that the mother plant might not return, but if you have seed,
you can grow replacements:-)

year. It is really stunning. It is in part shade and doing fine,
but I do keep it watered.

do you think about this? Let maybe ONE flower clump go to seed and
cutting off everything else... and then cutting the plant itself back
in the fall or early winter?
