Elle, do not think you strange at all...happen to like Stachys
flowers myself and always let them have at it. Yes, they can lean
here and there, but I rather think they're neat...glad to find
another who also does!
I have found you can cut them back practically to nothing, as long as
there is life in the stem, they will leaf out again.
