Cutting off Water

I have some great Sibs that are just going gonzo. The bloom was great
(although done for some time now) and the plants are exceptionally
healthy.
My question is this:
In my California weather that occasionally gets as hot as 95 (30%-40%
humidity) but mostly stays in the 75-85 range, should I ever stop
watering them, let the foliage die back, and have the plants go
dormant?
Sometime this fall I am gping to give them a "haircut" to ground level
to clean them up. I did not do that last year and they looked terrible
with all that dead foliage hanging about.
Thanks
